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.
|
|
|
|
After installing, see /usr/doc/apcupsd-3.14.13/README.SLACKWARE for more
|
|
information on how to modify rc.6 and how to start the apcupsd daemon
|
|
automatically at boot.
