      Hi,

      All I have changed is /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf. It's below (it's not very exciting … LOL),

      [APC]
      driver=dummy-ups
      port=/var/tmp/nutDummyUPS/nutDummyUPS.dev
      

      The driver is dummy-ups, and port is just the file name it points to.

      Thanks!

        FYI, this seems to be somewhat changed … is that correct? It's not getting overwritten on reboot / upgrade (yay!), but does happen some other times.

        Should I add this to redmine, just so it's captured?

        Thanks!

          Hi,

          OK, my mistake - another issue blocked me seeing this. It's still the same … ;).

          Is there a file I can edit to store my desired ups.conf file? Asking because restarting some other services (like OpenVPN), resets the ups.conf file => I have to go in and edit it every time ... :(.

          Thanks!

            Not currently. I'll be working on a package rev next weekend.

                If you want to help test the changes, PM me an email address and I will send you the files for testing.

                Thanks,

                        The current NUT package should be available for 2.3 and later. Let me know if you don't see it in your available packages.

                          Ahh - gotcha … so not a pfSense update per se, rather just update the (nut) package - correct? And yes, I see 2.7.4_4 now ... is that the correct one?

                          BTW, do I need to undo the patches I tested out, or will this overwrite them (blow them away)? That would be easiest of course ... ;-).

                          Thanks again for all the help.

                            The new release is version 2.7.4_5. It will overwrite the files I sent you.
