Dear Joe, Think I need all the help I can get ;-). Found the place to give the input for the UPS in the sytem editor and gave the information about the UPS in. As the UPS is totaly unknown and made localy I have to try out the right setup. Some SuSe versions back as I had my first unsuccesful try with this UPS I had at least some kind of a response with genericups upstype 4. When I disconnected the UPS cable I ran into trouble. So that is the UPS type I want to start. It is said in the man pages of NUT that you have to watch the syslog. Fine, when, where and how. How do I monitor the the UPS. The UPS is not connected to my computer and I have a strong user connected for the tests when I disconnect the power. But first I have to know if NUT works at all.
