Nut upsuser - Jun 2013 - nut client config?

Hello,

could nut clients have its settings file?

It would be easier to configure UPSes for upsc, upsmon and nut-monitor with
client config file.
Maybe ups.conf ?

My mind is like a steel trap - rusty and illegal in 37 states.

If you are looking for a simpler way to set up NUT in general, there is the
nut-scanner tool. I don't use it, but others on the list might be able to
help.

The separation between clients and server is to allow processes like upsmon and
the drivers to run as different users. There are also passwords in some of the
configuration files. Aside from that, what do you suggest that we combine?

I wondered if the ups parameters could be read from a configuration file by
upsc and NUT-monitor (the python interface), maybe even upsmon.

I can of couse create wrappers or scripts that will work around this but I'm
curious if someone finds this useful. I only have one UPS and when I want
to see its status, I must provide the same values, so I'm searching for way
to avoid this.

The security should not be an issue if we only read the UPS status, correct?
