Configuring a USB UPS

[Amichai Rotman]

Hello,

We had some bad weather that caused some AC spikes and reboots to my Ubuntu
Lucid box.

I went out and bought the first UPS I could find in my price range (I know -
not very smart),,,,

It's called  SilverLine Hornet 1000VA - some generic OEM I guess,

It connects to my PC with USB. lsusb lists it as:

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05b8:0000 Agiler, Inc.

I am trying to configure NUT to monitor the USP - but I can't figure out the
right settings to put in the /etc/nut/ups.conf

I was trying to follow this HOWTO:

http://blog.shadypixel.com/monitoring-a-ups-with-nut-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/

But got stuck on the

$ sudo upsdrvctl start

line...

Please help!
