What's the status of this bug? I think that having multiple-UPS support in apcupsd would significantly improve the Debian package. I tested the init.d apcupsd script (/etc/init.d/apcupsd) suggested on https://wiki.debian.org/apcupsd#Configuring_.28Multiple_UPS_Devices.29 and it seems to work correctly: as soon as you create multiple apcupsd*.conf files (with distinct UPSNAME, DEVICE, NISPORT, EVENTSFILE, and STATFILE values), it starts multiples instances of apcupsd. Unfortunately, there's no licensing info on the wiki page... If the author of this modified init.d script could be tracked down and asked to license it under the same terms as apcupsd (GPL-2+), the script could be adopted for the Debian package (after possible further modifications...). According to https://wiki.debian.org/apcupsd?action=diff&rev1=2&rev2=3 it seems that the init.d script with multiple UPS support was added to the wiki by a user nicknamed "paper". What do the maintainers of the apcupsd Debian package think about this? Please share your opinion. Thanks for your time!
