Description

I would like to request a new port for 'nut-client' only install. It should only include functionality needed to monitor a ups on another system.

I was able to get this working via the existing 'nut' macport by doing the following:

  1. Setup Macports
  2. port install nut
  3. cp /opt/local/etc/upsmon.conf.sample /opt/local/etc/upsmon.conf
  4. update upsmon.conf as appropriate for your environment
  5. add the plist to /Library/LaunchDaemons
  6. REBOOT. I found that this was the only way to get the plist to load. I am sure there is a better way, but this was easy and worked.
  7. check that the process is running with ps -ef | grep upsmon

If you see something like:

  0   148     1   0  8:17AM ??         0:00.04 /opt/local/sbin/upsmon -D
500   250   148   0  8:18AM ??         0:00.23 /opt/local/sbin/upsmon -D

You should be good since nut is running two processes. One is for root and the other is for the nut user installed via macports.

If you're saying that this is functionality already available, along with other components, in the nut port, and you would like a nut-client port that only includes this capability, and not the other components, then this would be an ideal time to use subports, rather than a complete new port.
