APCUPSD can be used for power management and controlling most of APC's UPS
|
|
|
|
|
models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd works with most of APC's
|
|
|
|
|
Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such as Back-UPS
|
|
|
|
|
and BackUPS-Office.

This buildscript veers from the "accepted" installation of apcupsd, but for
|
|
|
|
|
what I believe you'll see are justifiable reasons. The stock install of
|
|
|
|
|
apcupsd detects its presence on Slackware and attempts to patch the system's
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.6 script and places the rc.apcupsd script inside /etc/rc.d
|
|
|
|
|
(instead of DESTDIR/etc/rc.d - in essence, it touches files outside DESTDIR).
|
|
|
|
|
I don't view this as even remotely acceptable, so the build script disables
|
|
|
|
|
the distribution-specific installation to prevent messing with files outside
|
|
|
|
|
DESTDIR; however, this does make it require some manual configuration after
|
|
|
|
|
installation.
