Thanks you both for your replies.
I currently got it to work by hacking my halt script
This is probably not the the best way to go about it, but I am using
Suse 10.0 and could not find a nut package for it.
I'm really interested to see how this should work, so I'd like to try
out those source rpm's.
I downloaded the Ubuntu source package and figured out that the halt
script on Ubuntu looks for
/etc/init.d/ups-monitor (which is a symlink to the /etc/init.d/nut).
It's a pity that there is not a more standardized way to go about this,
since I'm probably going to have do it again for an old FreeBSD box.
Anyways, Thanks again

However, if you are installing from source, you can still use the
startup/shutdown scripts as a guide. I forgot to mention earlier that
you will need to link /etc/init.d/nut into the appropriate shutdown
directory (probably /etc/rc0.d; my Ubuntu box is not on at the
moment).
If you want to install a newer version than SuSE provides at the moment,
it is probably best to install the sources from SuSE. You can then
modify the .spec file that is provided to use a newer version. This does
require some tweaking of the patches that are used, since SuSE installs
some files in different locations or under different names.
I usually have RPM's available for the latest version of the trunk and
testing branches. I'm currently using openSUSE 10.2, but as far as I
know, the source RPM's build cleanly on other versions as well. If
you're interested, just let me know.
Best regards, Arjen
