This is geared toward Debian Jessie.
INSTALL:
sudo apt-get install nut
EDIT:
To /etc/nut/ups.conf add
[belkin]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
A Belkin UPS is used connected via a USB cable. The label in brackets can be any unique identifier. It will be useful later. Some configurations call for ‘port’ to be /dev/ttyS0. This was tried but didn’t seem to just work so the USB option was used w/ the ‘port’ set to ‘auto’
Verify nut properly detects the UPS:
sudo upsdrvctl start
OUTPUT:
Network UPS Tools – UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools – Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
USB communication driver 0.33
Using subdriver: Belkin/Liebert HID 0.17
EDIT:
To /etc/nut/upsd.users add:
[local_mon]
password = <a password unique to this process>
allowfrom = localhost
upsmon master
EDIT:
To sudo vim /etc/nut/upsmon.conf add:
MONITOR belkin@localhost 1 local_mon <a password unique to this process> master POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h now"
Change file permissions:
sudo chown root:nut /etc/nut/*
sudo chmod 640 /etc/nut/*
EDIT:
To sudo vim /etc/default/nut add:
START_UPSD=yes
START_UPSMON=yes
Start the nut client and server:
sudo /etc/init.d/nut-client start [ ok ] Starting nut-client (via systemctl): nut-client.service. sudo /etc/init.d/nut-server start [ ok ] Starting nut-server (via systemctl): nut-server.service.
