This document introduces Linux Hotplug script for NUT USB
|
||
|
|
drivers (usbhid-ups, bcmxcp_usb and tripplite_usb).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are needed, on older Linux systems, to ensure the right
|
||
|
|
privileges are set on the usb files (ie allowing nut user to read AND
|
||
|
|
write to the UPS device).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternative
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For newer 2.6 kernels with the udev mechanism, you should use the
|
||
|
|
scripts in scripts/udev instead of this one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For most users, these files will be automatically installed in
|
||
|
|
/etc/hotplug upon "make install", if that directory exists. You can
|
||
|
|
specify an alternate directory by ./configure --with-hotplug-dir=DIR.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Manual installation
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
These scripts can be used with Linux 2.4 to 2.6.13.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- possibly change libhidups to match NUT user
|
||
|
|
- copy libhidups and libhid.usermap to /etc/hotplug/usb/
|
||
|
|
- make libhidups executable with:
|
||
|
|
chmod a+x /etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups
|
||
|
|
- call update-usb.usermap or equivalent if needed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can then plug your UPS, and start NUT.
