Thanks - that makes perfect sense

I'm having a problem with a UPS where it very briefly goes offline every minute or two. This is resulting in a notification and an email every time, so my inbox is flooded with these notifications. I'm not really sure where to go with troubleshooting the 'going offline' problem, so instead I hope to just get rid of the notifications. I believe I should be able to do this by editing the shell scripts called by apcupsd when UPS comms is lost or restored, located in /etc/apcupsd. I can edit these scripts, save them, then re-open to confirm the changes were saved, no problem, BUT after a reboot, the scripts have been overwritten and reverted to their original content. I recall I've seen this behaviour with other config files other than apcupsd before so the solution to this could help me in multiple ways. Perhaps this is just my linux n00b showing. Please do let me know if that's the case Thanks in advance!
