Yes, I have the correct cable; in fact, APC specifically sent it to me as I could not get USB to work at all (seems not yet supported on FreeBSD), and the number is stamped in the cable. I am familiar with the document you pointed me to, and I believe I set everything according to how it should be; here is my config (stripped off comments): UPSCABLE 940-0128A UPSTYPE backups DEVICE /dev/ttyd0 LOCKFILE /var/spool/lock BATTERYLEVEL 10 MINUTES 3 TIMEOUT 15 ANNOY 10 ANNOYDELAY 5 NOLOGON always KILLDELAY 0 NETSERVER off NISPORT 7000 EVENTSFILE /var/log/apcupsd.events STATTIME 3600 STATFILE /var/log/apcupsd.status LOGSTATS off DATATIME 0 UPSNAME UPS_IDEN BEEPSTATE 0 LOWBATT 2 UPSCLASS standalone UPSMODE disable NETACCESS true Understanding the docs right, the "TIMEOUT 15" should start a forced shutdown after 15 secs of power loss (set so low for test-purposes). Alas, nothing happens. :( Thanks anyway. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
