[Bug 224791] [NEW] nut upsmon not observing it's config file

[Al Grimstad]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nut

This bug concerns the ill-fated nut 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7 in ubuntu 8.04.

The bug is that upsmon, which I've configured to write its warnings to
tty sessions is frequently reporting spurious low-battery conditions. I
immediately run upsc to check the battery and it's at 100%. Worst, I've
tried to turn off low battery warnings in upsmon.conf without defeating
the spurious warnings. The only relief has been to shut down nut
entirely.

Here's an excerpt from upsmon.conf:

NOTIFYFLAG NOCOMM SYSLOG
NOTIFYFLAG COMMOK SYSLOG
NOTIFYFLAG COMMBAD SYSLOG
NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
#NOTIFYFLAG LOWBATT SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG FSD SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
NOTIFYFLAG SHUTDOWN SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
#NOTIFYFLAG REPLBATT SYSLOG+EXECbattery.alarm.threshold: 0

Here is the battery portion of the upsc report right after a spurious
warning of "low battery":

battery.charge: 100.0
battery.charge.restart: 00
battery.date: 02/18/00
battery.runtime: 240
battery.runtime.low: 120
battery.voltage: 13.61
battery.voltage.nominal: 012

I'm attach the whole config file to the message.  -- al
