That seems to work, as in doesn't exit even if I run a second invocation of usbhid-ups -a myups, both show up at the bottom of htop's listing, and both responded to a kill from htop. The output was: [r...@coyote /]# usbhid-ups -a myups Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.33 (2.2.2) Using subdriver: Belkin HID 0.11 But no other output was seen. They ran for about 2 or 3 minutes. Since this ups outputs a continuous string of status info, there must be something doofy in the connection. I'll check when I am awake, ERR_NOTSUFFICIENT_CAFFEINE right now. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
