It holds it open for as long as it can. The "Got to reconnect!" message is when the driver decides that an error is sufficiently fatal to disconnect and reconnect: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/drivers/usbhid-ups.c#L803 It is possible that EIO is only temporary, but we would need to add some more logging code to verify that theory. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
