I'm going to package %subj% (www.exploits.org). Could you help me resolve a few things? The primary (hw dependent) daemon monitoring a UPS needs to talk to UPS via /dev/ttyS*, which is "rw-rw---- root.dialout" after standard installation. Then there is another daemon, upsd, which reads info put by the lower daemon into /var/state/ups. clients then get data from upsd. [ups box] <-serial-> model_daemon <-/var/state/ups-> upsd <--> clients
Please don't use /var/state, use /var/lib instead. /var/state is gone in the next version of FHS.
