cannot get nut to load on reboot

submitted by

I set up NUT on my server to monitor the status of 2 UPS’s connected via USB, an eaton and a cyberpower. Nut fires up fine when I tell systemd to run all the pieces, but when I reboot, they are active but dead. they dont wake up and work until I manually load them again.

Theres no error anywhere. it just wont load itself on boot. why?

Its common, it’s called the refractory period. Younger men can sometimes go a couple minutes after a “reboot” but as you get older it takes longer and longer.

ETA: maybe I should read past the topic…
