NUT on OSX 10.6 [Sharing a UPS with ReadyNAS and Computers]

I wanted to chime in and say that I seem to be all set with my NV as the NUT server, and a 10.8.2 NUT client installed through MacPorts. I haven't actually cut the power and done a real test yet, but upsmon is running fine and I'm able to confirm connectivity with upsc. Here are some updated instructions if you're using MacPorts to install:

For any MacPorts install, make sure you're using a supported version of Xcode and that you have additionally installed the command-line tools

Upsmon.conf should go in /opt/local/etc. Start from the sample file in there or use DBott's upsmon.conf, which basically takes the defaults except for the most important line:

MONITOR UPS@ReadyNAS_IP 1 monuser pass slave

Do a sudo mkdir /Library/StartupItems/UPS. Create and save the XML file in this post as StartupParameters.plist, and save it in that UPS directory

Create the script in this port in the UPS directory, and you can save that file as UPS. The FINK_BIN path in the script should be "/opt/local/sbin" because MacPorts doesn't use Fink's install directory. Don't forget to make this script executable with a chmod +x UPS. The script should kick off upsmon on boot. You can test connectivity to the NUT server on the ReadyNAS with sudo /opt/local/bin/./upsc UPS@ReadyNAS_IP, which should display similar results to the beginning of this post. HTH.....
