A very brief howto.

/sbin/e-smith/config set nut service status enabled /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

The default is for a USB UPS - so it will probably fail.

I use a Sola 550 (which uses the bestfortress driver and serial ports)

edit

/etc/ups/ups.conf like so

UPS driver = bestfortress port = /dev/ttyS0

And /etc/sysconfig/ups

DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0 MODEL=bestfortress

OPTIONS=

SERVER=yes

As it says DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE! - the changes will probably not survive long so make and edit the templates in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc as required.

I had some permission problems with /dev/ttyS0 so i did the following

chmod a+r /dev/ttyS0 chmod a+w /dev/ttyS0

The defaults worked fine - system halted and UPS shutdown. System came backup with no problems when power to the UPS was restored.
