Right, I wasn't sure if NUT usbhid-ups was working with hal, or if it is independent of it. I've stopped hal and noticed no difference. This is what hal is polling: $ ps axf | grep -i hal 30796 pts/3 S+ 0:00 \_ grep --colour=auto -i hal 30711 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/hald --use-syslog --verbose=no 30712 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-runner 30743 ?

No idea how to disable upower (or if it is even desirable to do so). It doesn't show up under running processes. -- Regards, Mick _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
