I have an APC usb UPS and the process 'hald-addon-hid-ups' was slowly growing and using up all my RAM (Gentoo stable x86).
I noted that the latest release 3.14.3 installs a new hal policy file so upgraded to in the hope that it would fix things. The policy file syntax was not accepted by hal. I got an error:
hald[12708]: error in fdi file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/80-apcupsd-ups-policy.fdi:5: Bad rule: unknown type_match
I had a quick scan of the hal documents, and it appears that the first "match" tag has incorrect syntax. Here is my patch
5c5
< <match key="info.addons" type="strlist">hald-addon-hid-ups</match>
---
> <match key="info.addons" contains="hald-addon-hid-ups">
Does this make sense? In any case, the process 'hald-addon-hid-ups' does not start anymore, so apcupsd has sole access to the UPS which is what I think was supposed to happen,
