You would be surprised how many times people forget things like #! or the execute bit in their shell scripts...

That is odd.

We aren't doing anything special to execute the command, just a system(2) call:

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.7.1/clients/upsmon.c#L1683

I'll admit that there could be better error reporting. I added an issue on GitHub, but if you built from source, you can extend the upslogx() command line to see why system() is failing.
