Sorry, my mistake - I assumed wrongly that you had a mixed APC non-APC setup.
and second isn't the driver from nut I posted in my first mail already made to
use both on one computer?
My understanding from the NUT hardware compatibility list [1] is that NUT does
not use APC's driver directly. NUT uses its solis, apcsmart, usbhid-ups,
genericups and snmp-ups drivers for APC UPS's. Maybe there is shared code - you
would have to ask an expert.
The way I understood the manual is that I could use nut for all devices and
put apcupsd with this driver additionally on the computer directly connected
to the UPS. I guess apcupsd would only serve as access to the UPS while nut
controlls the system shutdown and information distribution. Would they really
interfere?
Is this your intention:
UPS -> apcupsd -> NUT upsd -> upsmon -> upssched -> upssched-cmd/apccontrol ?
The apcupsd daemon and the upsd daemon are not built to work like this. If you
use NUT, it should be
UPS -> solis/apcsmart/usbhid-ups/genericups/snmp-ups -> upsd -> ...
