@dennypage done. removed the "interruptonly" and hit "save". Console shows:

Now we wait...
-
@dennypage I show nothing for logs they already rotated for me. :(
-
@shaffergr I don't think it will be necessary, but if it doesn't generate a core file, add this:
sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1 -
@dennypage
Well i just delete, reboot and reinstall nut not the operating system. Weird that i don't know why after remove nut i still had the settings when i did reinstall.

@lcbbcl I need the messages from the usbhid-ups process. The messages from upsd are expected when usbhid-ups isn't running.
If you don't have any log entries from usbhid-ups, then please post your ups settings (Services / UPS / Settings)
I'll be away for a bit... but will look at it when I'm back.
-
@dennypage
I have no msg/error from usbhid-ups
-
@lcbbcl If you re-save your ups settings, it will restart the processes and you should be able to find usbhid entries.

@shaffergr Sent in chat. Look for a quote bubble next to the pic of your icon at the top. Should have an alert there.

@lcbbcl I believe I have found what is causing the issue you are experiencing. To correct the issue will require an update to the pfSense nut package as well as updating the underlying FreeBSD nut package used by pfSense. It will take some time.
In the interim, you can address the issue by adding the line "user=root" to "Additional configuration lines for ups.conf" under Advanced settings.

Your hard and dedicated work on this package is an inspiration. Thank you for the effort :-)
I assume it was an access permissions issue since running it as root solves the issue? Can you comment on why it only happens for some UPS models?

Yes, it's a permissions issue. I am hoping it can be addressed in the FreeBSD nut package (or perhaps in kernel config?), but if not I will have to add the user=root to the config for all usb devices.
What models it happens on are dependent upon the quirks defined for that device. If you want to jump down the rabbit hole, run "usbconfig dump_quirk_names" and "usbconfig dump_device_quirks".
NB: This is not related to the signal 10/11 issue being experienced with CyberPower units.

I see the github packages have been moved to
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports
But i don't see the nut package in there.
Where is the code for nut, or is it closed source now?
In the upsmon configuration, can we please add two config boxes for the below files.
/usr/local/etc/nut/upssched.conf with permission 644
/usr/local/bin/upssched-cmd with permission 755To use the scheduler to trigger events from upsmon. these files need to be configurable.
Also, there should be a note for using them, the notification box has to be disabled.
here is a sample of working filesupsmon
