Hi friends! I have a problem. I configured sysutils/nut for UPS and when I want get data from UPS (serial cable) getting error.

# upsc King@localhost
Code: 
Error: Data stale

I have "Powercom 1500 King UPS" and FreeBSD 9.3 RELEASE x64. In configuration file ups.conf I using:
Code: 
[King]
  driver = powercom
  port = /dev/cuau0
When I restart service "nut" I getting:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut restart
Code: 
Stopping nut.
Waiting for PIDS: 1099.
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.3

# ls -l /var/db/nut/
Code: 
total 16
srw-rw----  1 uucp  uucp  0  1 січ 22:57 powercom-King
-rw-r--r--  1 uucp  uucp  6  1 січ 22:57 powercom-King.pid

-rw-r--r--  1 root  uucp  5 30 гру 21:20 upsmon.pid

I give group wheel permission on /var/db/nut/upsd.pid, but after restart nut permission change to only user and group uucp. What is wrong?

Ownerships changing to uucp might not be a problem. Word stale would indicate a communication problem. Does /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsdrvctl start show what it should be?

I not see upslog and upsmon in process list and I run theirs manually.
