I don't use nut myself, but grazing the man pages, you'd use something like this in the ups.conf file: [tripplite] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto vendorid = <vendor-id-from-lsusb> Do an "lsusb" and see what vendor ID is shown for your UPS. For example, scanning my USB bus, I see this sort of thing: [root@prophead ups]# lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8001 Intel Corp. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8009 Intel Corp. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0bc2:ab21 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Slim Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0411:00a2 BUFFALO INC. (formerly MelCo., Inc.) I do NOT have a Tripp Lite UPS, but let's just say that the "BUFFALO INC." thing is my Tripp Lite. I'd set up my ups.conf thus: [tripplite] driver = usbhid-ups bus = "003" port = auto vendorid = 0411 The "bus = " isn't really necessary, but it'll keep the system from scanning ALL of your USB buses. I think that's all you need. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If Windows isn't a virus, then it sure as hell is a carrier! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
