Is there some smart way of not having ioupsd claming the device on mac os x?<br>

<br>
My only working Macs (at the moment) are laptops, so I haven't had to try this in a while. What errors do you get if you just try to run usbhid-ups?<br>

test this with caution though, since I don't know how ioupsd will behave (auto respawn, shutdown the system, ...?)<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Or having nut talk to ioupsd?<br>

<br>
We don't have code for this, but it wouldn't be completely out of the question.<br>

(/usr/ibexec/ioupsd is the builtin ups daemon, but I need the machine to tell the other machine about the UPS status, and ioupsd does not do networking AFAIK...)<br>

Out of curiosity, which version of OS X are you using?<br>

I'm not sure of the consequences of removing disabling ioupsd, but I would expect it to be restored by software updates at an unpredictable rate...<div><div></div><div class="h5">
