I should also mention a pair of options that were introduced in 2.7.2: maxretry and retrydelay. http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html#_global_directives I haven't used dummy-ups in production (I just use the other mode to simulate an UPS) but I suspect there might be a race condition if upsdrvctl starts dummy-ups before both usbhid-ups instances connect to upsd. Not sure if there is a backport of NUT 2.7.2 to 12.04, but it might be worth looking into. Or you could manually add something to rc.local that restarts dummy-ups if it is not running, but usbhid-ups is. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
