...UPSes named `ups` while the other 3/4 are named something descriptive and helpful for administration. I think I should be able to use the "dummy-ups" driver in repeater mode to create a virtual UPS named "ups" that tracks the status of a real UPS named something else (i.e., `eaton1`). From the documentation, I think my "ups.conf" should look like: [eaton1] driver = usbhid-ups serial = "..." port = auto desc = "Eaton PW9130L1500R-XL2U #1" [eaton2] driver = usbhid-ups serial = &quot...

.... Makes no difference. The point is that, to put this UPS variable to practical use, we need to configure it permanently / persistently. And, this is where the documentation feels a little sketchy. The setting command in the shell goes like upsrw -s battery.charge.low=90 -u my_user -p my_passwd eaton1 But... is there perhaps some systemic way where to configure a UPS variable? So that it gets configured first thing after a reboot? Turns out that there isn't. You need to enter this into a script somewhere. I was wondering about Systemd's ExecStartPost, but as the nut-server service u...

That was actually just a one-off mistake in making a simple example to post. The errors are the same even with the correct "@localhost". I will look into whether there's a backport to 12.04, as a race condition seems logical. I'm glad to hear that my use case s...
