Ok, I'll set up with MODEL=genericups, but I'm not sure what USB uses for connections <socket> <port> and how to determine the same for a config file.

Thanks for all you help Markku.                                 david

For what it's worth this is at restart in s-c-services:

ups failed. The error was: Stopping UPS monitor: [FAILED]
Stopping upsd: [FAILED]
Shutting down genericups: [FAILED]
Starting genericups: Network UPS Tools - Generic UPS driver 1.30 (2.0.2)

Further activity,this as far as I have ventured and now I really don't understand what is going on:

ups failed. The error was: Stopping UPS monitor: [FAILED]
Stopping upsd: [FAILED]
Shutting down genericups: [FAILED]
Starting genericups: Network UPS Tools - Generic UPS driver 1.30 (2.0.2)
[FAILED]
Starting upsd: Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.2
[FAILED]
Starting UPS monitor (master): Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.0.1

Fatal error: insufficient power configured!

Sum of power values........: 0
Minimum value (MINSUPPLIES): 1

Edit your upsmon.conf and change the values.
[FAILED]

With (MINSUPLLIES): 1, upsmon.conf states
 <powervalue> is an integer - the number of power supplies that this UPS
# feeds on this system.  Most computers only have one power supply, so this
# is normally set to 1.  You need a pretty big or special box to have any
# other value here.
#
# You can also set this to 0 for a system that doesn't supply any power,
# but you still want to monitor.  Use this when you want to hear about
# changes for a given UPS without shutting down when it goes critical,
# unless <powervalue> is 0.
#
# <username> and <password> must match an entry in that system's
# upsd.users.  If your username is "monmaster" and your password is
# "blah", the upsd.users would look like this:
#
#       [monmaster]
#               password  = blah
#               allowfrom =     (whatever applies to this host)
#               upsmon master   (or slave)
#
# "master" means this system will shutdown last, allowing the slaves
# time to shutdown first.
#

# "slave" means this system shuts down immediately when power goes critical.

#
# Examples:
#
# MONITOR myups@bigserver 1 monmaster blah master
# MONITOR su700@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1 upsmon secretpass slave
MONITOR "genericups usptype=7"@reddwarf 0 david 4skin46 master

If I can state "0" why do I get an error.

  Thanks   david

Just tried starting 'genericups'

[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo genericups -x upstype=7 /dev/usb/ups

Network UPS Tools - Generic UPS driver 1.30 (2.0.2)
UPS type: CyberPower Power99
ioctl TIOCMSET: Invalid argument

( strange but 3105 supercedes 3110)

One day I'll get this to work :-)

     thanks david
