-- To find out where udev is putting your ups, as root run
"tail /var/log/message" after plugging the ups into the usb socket, the entry
you want will probably contain /dev/ttyUSB1..4. But be warned, it may not
always be loaded as the same usb device depending on other usb devices being
plugged or unplugged.
You will probably have to write a rule for your ups. Take a look at the man
page for udev and examine the existing rules in /etc/udev/rules/d to get the
idea. It would be a good idea to create a "file" under /dev, sav /dev/ups,
and put a symlink pointing to it in the rule.
Hope this helps,
Tom
