Hello, when I have UPS connected to NUT server, does it matter if the NUT client (running a different version) supports that UPS? In other words, does the NUT protocol require the UPS being supported by the client in addition to the server? ...I guess the answer is 'no' but I'd like to know if there is anything good to know. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar at fantomas.sk ; fantomas.sk Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

The client simply asks the server for either a specific variable, or a list of all variables. There were some new features introduced in 2.6.4, and I can't imagine that anyone is still running a version older than 2.0.
