Thanks for the response, but this is a different situation. In my case, the device actually _is_ disconnected (I disconnected the USB cable and shut down the UPS prior to replacing the batteries). This is not the only UPS, and it's not even the primary one for this host, so I do not want to stop nut.target. Restarting nut.target is not going to help unless I first edit the ups.conf, upsmon.conf, and hosts.conf files to remove references to the now disconnected unit, though now that I think of it, perhaps if the device is missing right from the start, then the package won't keep trying forever to look for it. I'll give that a try some time.
You could get really funky with the scripts. The udev is UPS specific (each UPS should have a unique dev/identifier) and thus a specific rule. If a specific UPS disappears, swap out/in config files (or run sed on files) and restart the nut.target.
You can be dynamic as UPS instances come and go. Raymond https://blog.raymond.burkholder.net/ _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
