Hello everyone, we've been recently getting a lot of power cuts lately, my current ups has too much load on it so its not keeping up, i decided to get a new ups for my server (Eatons 3S) and use the auto shut down feature in case im not at home , but i wanted to try the ups service before i buy one, i realized that i couldn't make the service start, i did a bit of googling and found out that i have to chmod 777 /dev/ugenx.x (1.3 in my case), however it had no effect, i get the following error when i try to start the service
