Thanks. I tried that; it appeared to "work":
howland:/etc/nut# /etc/init.d/ups-monitor restart
Restarting Network UPS Tools:.
howland:/etc/nut# echo $?

howland:/etc/nut#
but Front view doesn't show status. On the other hand:
howland:/etc/nut# upsc Main@172.16.8.1

battery.charge.low: 0
battery.charge.restart: 00

So I *think* this means that "it's working," and I shouldn't get fussed about Frontview.
Thanks for your help & patience. :-)
