UPS- Geek Squad GS-1285U -- daemon? drivers?

Asked by qsummon

I'm opening a new one, I close the other one accidentally Copying/paste the old one

I just bought one of this UPS. I want to know if there is any daemon, drivers, apps to interact with?

I only want to be able to shutdown the servers when the electricity is out...
I have one ubuntu server (no gui), please any body knows any No-gnome No-kde appl or way to do it?

Thanks a lot!

Andre,
Thanks for the quick response

I have this issue with /etc/nut/ups.conf

According with the documentation, if I have an USB/UPS (which I do), I have to leave the port as auto. port = auto
But, when I try to do it looks like that sentence is not working
How do I point the conf file to the correct usb port? Bellow is all the information related.
thanks again

upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2
Network UPS Tools - CyberPower driver 1.00 (2.2.2)
Unable to open auto: No such file or directory
Things to try:
 - Check 'port=' in ups.conf
 - Check owner/permissions of all parts of path
Fatal error: unusable configuration
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

Either with cyberpanel or powerpanel, the setting port = auto fails. The ups is connected trough USB."Unable to open auto: No such file or directory"

Any help?
