Greetings;
I have attempted to add the nut startup strings into my /etc/rc.local file,
but with the new nono-serialized boot used by many distros today, I cannot
see the startup and its error messages if any because the xserver is
already started and that hide the messages. All I know is that it will not
even show the driver in an htop report once booted.
So, taking another tack, I have pulled the /etc/init.d/upsd script in from
an older mandriva install that self-destructed, modified the paths in it to
suit the installation in the /usr/local/ups tree.
Parts of this appear to work.
[r...@coyote init.d]# ./upsd restart

That was root attempting to do that.
That file is currently, and I believe pursuant to the install instructions:
[r...@coyote init.d]# ls -l /usr/local/ups/etc/ups.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root nut 95 2010-11-06 12:54 /usr/local/ups/etc/ups.conf
What do I do to the perms etc so that this file is readable, both now, and
during the bootup when I enable a link to it from /etc/rc5.d?
Thanks.
