In my opinion it would be best to analyze the code of smupsd which is able
to obtain some additional information from some APC UPS and tell the nut
authors what they could add. Nut is in my opinion the most promising
ups daemon. If you ask me, a distribution need only *one* ups daemon which
*works*. I once packaged smupsd because no other worked with my hardware
setup. Porting some minor enhancements from smupsd to nut would be the
best solution in my opinion.
The smupsd daemon is in fact not bad. The problem is the Java-monitoring
program. If you intend to do some upstream development it could even make
sense to keep smupsd alive but I would prefer the solution I mentioned above.
Kind regards
Andreas.
