Thanks

I could not find another program.  I removed the NUT-Monitor and tried again,
the program could not be found so I assume that the version that is stored in
the code has not been updated for a long time.  I installed it again.  I am
beginning to think that this is not the program I need.

I still need to get shut down working when the battery is low and get logging
to work.

I still need the information about the question on the subject line.  I think
that I need to change the options for the programs at startup.
