Curious finding up there. I think this is due to `load_upsdconf(0);` being at https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/server/upsd.c#L1776 being after the initial signal-probing for competitors (or sending a command to a running daemon), so using built-in PID/STATE paths, and notably that probing happens before the optional chrooting (and PID file is later recorded relative to the chroot).
For that initial probing, it would honor the NUT_ALTPIDPATH envvar (although still disregarding "relative to chroot" part if used), but not yet the know config file contents. So it is messed up somewhat. FWIW, last week I tried to track down current usage of various PATHs in the sources, see https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/1712#issuecomment-1327627850 if interested :) Hope this helps, Jim Klimov On Thu, Dec 1, 2022 at 5:43 PM Bill Gee <[email protected]> wrote: > My email client (Thunderbird) does not truncate, but it does wrap.
