In what way? If you generate this script when you (re)start 'upsmon'  
it will not behave any differently as parsing the regular expressions  
at runtime. Since in most (if not all) installations 'upsmon' will be  
started from a startup script, I don't see any reason why not to do  
this.

No, I mean you also have better things to do... :-)

The 'upssched' program is such a niche application that I prefer  
scripting this over coding it in C. We also need to consider the fact  
that people might mess up their regular expressions too. Parsing them  
beforehand and putting the result in 'upssched.conf' will allow them  
(and us) to see where they went wrong, instead of finding this out  
when a timer failed to start when it really should...

Best regards, Arjen
