Hello;
I am trying to identify how to get the upsc and upsmon applications to launch automatically at boot.
Please note my efforts and understanding thus far below:
I am running my Sophos server as a UPS slave on my network. My UPS is connected to my ReadyNas DUO server (configured as master) which is broadcasting the UPS information to my Sophos server (configured as slave).
I have adjusted my firewall settings to allow communication between the two servers (was surprised to find that SNMP was not the protocol being used in the broadcast when creating the firewall rules). When I initiate the upsc and upsmon commands, the UPS is detected and the Sophos server responds to the UPS status (powers down etc).
When studying up on the NUT system I noted that the upsd driver was not required for a slave configuration like the one I am configuring as it searches for local hosts only.
When activating the upsd driver it obviously doesnt work. I am certain this upsd driver is loading at boot, and I have noticed during my search through several configuration files that it will not initiate upsc and upsmon if it does not identify a local UPS (mine is on a network so it produces a null result).
Can someone perhaps assist me in identifying how I can initiate upsmon and upsc during the boot up sequence? As I currently need to activate them each time I reboot my server.
