Description of problem: nut installs files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ for udev. But given that, the RPM postinstall script needs to include the command: /sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules Not really a bug report, but I thought I'd also mention that the setup in /etc/sysconfig/ups for anything other than upsdrvctl seems a bit pointless since upsd requires settings in ups.conf.
The udevd daemon watches that directory with inotify, there is usually no need to do that.
Thanks Kay. I see from the udevd source you should be right. It didn't happen for me when I installed the nut rpm. I'll have to investigate and see if there's a udev or inotify problem. But I think I'll close this bug then (although my comment about /etc/sysconfig/ups still applies!).
