Hello Jim, I am following the direction of the `clone` drivers, although using the modern `upsdrvquery.c` API. Essentially I am parsing the protocol lines directly reading from the driver sockets, as the clone drivers do. As for ups.conf, I start up as follows without problems: [ups] driver = dummy-ups port = /etc/nut/5E.dev [ups2] driver = dummy-ups port = /etc/nut/APC.dev [failover] driver = f...

Hi all, Yesterday?s PR #2945 got me thinking about my basic failover setup and raised some questions I didn?t want to derail the PR with?hope this is the right place to ask. Apologies if not. The PR includes this note: > NOTE: There is currently no support for "multiplexing" information or > commands for devices with multiple-media/multiple-driver access, e.g. to > gain

Sounds great, thanks for the update! For communications with the other drivers (from failover or multiplexor), I suggest using the local driver socket line the clone* drivers do: this removes a dependency on `upsd` both for the service startup (no chicken-and-egg issue of drivers before upsd, but upsd before the failover driver) and for FSD end-game (after all services stopped, we just need to
