I'm not that familiar with nut, but if the program to control the UPS
under nut is upsdrvctl, then yes, that's what you do.

Rather than bugger the script, why not set up a symbolic link in /etc to
point at your nut data:

	[root at hostname root]# ln -s /usr/local/ups /etc/ups

That way you leave the script alone but still get the data you need.

No problem.  By the way, we prefer bottom posting on this list.
