I've read through the archives <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2006-August/001550.html">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2006-August/001550.html</a> and <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2006-August/001558.html">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2006-August/001558.html</a>. Going through the readme, <a href="http://eu1.networkupstools.org/doc/2.2.0/INSTALL.html">http://eu1.networkupstools.org/doc/2.2.0/INSTALL.html</a>, I made it to step 8 before the problems started. Originally I had used the usb program supplied with the ups from powercom, but this didn't appear to work as I had thought. I came across NUT and hoped that I could get some more flexibility. I didn't follow steps 1-6 because I had always used YaST2 and I was more comfortable with that. After getting NUT installed the drivers and upsdrvctl were located at /usr/lib/ups/drivers and the config files, ups.conf, etc., at /etc/ups. My ups.conf file has only one ups set up:<br>
<br>[BillSuSEUPS]<br> driver = usbhid-ups<br> port = /dev/hiddev0<br> desc = "Server UPS upstairs"<br><br>Here are the results from calling /usr/lib/ups/drivers/upsdrvctl start<br><br>Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2<br>

<br>At this stage I'm pretty stumped as to what is going on. I barely qualify as even a Linux newbie so I'm sure there are a ton of mistakes I've glossed over. However, any help at this stage would be greatly, greatly appreciated.<br>
