 > So I still recommend using two startup scripts.
 
 I very much support this view. I would go even further and recommend
 splitting the port in an upsmon-only port and another port with
 everything needed to talk to a UPS.
 
 My FreeBSD machine just crashed because I had not seen that the upsmon
 did not run anymore after an upgrade of the nut port. Fortunately, it
 wasn't worse than having to wait for all filesystems to be checked.
 
 (I need to replace the batteries in the UPS, the holding time was in the
 order of seconds :-(.)
