This program is a multi\-purpose UPS emulation tool\&. Its behavior depends on the running mode:

\fBdummy\-ups\fR looks like a standard device driver to \fBupsd\fR(8) and allows to change any value for testing purposes\&. It is both interactive, controllable through the \fBupsrw\fR(1) and \fBupscmd\fR(1) commands (or equivalent graphical tool), and batchable through script files\&. It can be configured, launched and used as any other real driver\&. This mode is mostly useful for development and testing purposes\&.

\fBdummy\-ups\fR acts as a NUT client, simply forwarding data\&. This can be useful for supervision purposes\&. This can also allow some load sharing between several UPS instances, using a point\-to\-point communication with the UPS\&.

Instant commands are not yet supported in Dummy Mode, and data need name/value checking enforcement, as well as boundaries or enumeration definition\&.
