</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> I'm at my wits end and need help regarding my UPS. I am a newbie to Linux
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> (10 months) and need help with trying to configure my UPS to my Linux SME
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> server.
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> I have little or no experience with Bash and am finding it overwhelming
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> when it comes to trying to configure my UPS.
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> I have installed my UPS to my Linux SME server and have installed my
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> driver for it. At best I think its running but not configured properly.
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> The UPS is connected via USB and am using the megatec-usb driver.
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> I am able to run the upsmon command and it gives me all the relevant info
</I>></FONT><FONT size=2><I> about the UPS-charge voltage/input/output etc...
