I'm using RH9 and I've just configured nut for a MGE-Ellipse ups, iow, /etc/sysconfig/ups, /etc/ups/upsd.conf, /etc/ups/upsmon.conf and /etc/ups/upsd.users, well, i think i did it watching to /var/log/messages and using '/sbin/service ups start' to start the service... and using upsc to read ups values....
[root@xxxxxxx ups]# /usr/bin/upsc ellipse800@xxxxxxxxx UPS: ellipse800@xxxxxxxxx MFR:MGE MODEL: ELLIPSE STATUS: OL LOADPCT: 25 RUNTIME: 28 BATTPCT: 100 BADPACKS: 0 BATT_CHARGE: 1 ALRM_BADOUTPUT: 0 ALRM_UPSSHUT: 0 ALRM_OVERLOAD: 0 ALRM_GENERAL: 0 GRACEDELAY: 120 WAKEDELAY: 13
I did it "by-hand" all the modifs, but is there a howto for RH9 to configure this service? I realize that there are a sysconfig file for ups... and my question is What can i need to do to see the batt status monitor in gkrellm (actually showing 0%)... what are the neccesary steps to configure it, using the "command line" in the gkrellm opts for the batt tab? i take a look to the gkrellm for FAQs or Howto but i didnt find specific doc about it
TIA
