By default, nut is configured for a USB connected UPS in Master mode, but is disabled. When enabled, nut will monitor the UPS and take various actions when certain notifications are received. This is controlled by the '''/etc/ups/upsmon.conf''' file which among other things lists the notifications and the actions to be taken for each. For example an 'on battery' event is captured by the '''NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT''' entry and the following '''SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC''' command string. This string tells upsmon to write the event to the System Log, broadcast a message to all users via Wall, and execute the command denoted by the NOTIFYCMD entry.
