I'm not saying it's a great use case, but if you have descriptive names in ups.conf, and those names are advertised over mDNS/SD, a GUI could present a partial list of hosts running upsd. It's not complete auto-configuration, but it's a way to avoid scanning a wide array of hosts. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
