Hi,
I have installed and configured nut (2.6.5-7.fc18) in a fairly standard x86_64 box.
After configuring nut I tested it by starting is manually, e.g. 'upsdrvctl start' and everything worked fine. When I re-started the server nut-server.service is tryng to start nut-driver.service but it fails:
I cannot understand why the serial port /dev/ttyS6 would be busy? I have not installed anything else that uses serial ports, and /dev/ttyS6 is naturally dedicated to the UPS.
Serial port /dev/ttyS6:
User nut is in dialout group:
After the boot if I login and do this
Everything works fine, also nut-driver.service starts OK.
nut-driver.service is "static"
nut-server.service is "enabled"
nut-monitor.service is "enabled"
If the error message is right, what is reserving /dev/ttyS6 (and/or other serial ports) during system boots up?
