I am running the experimental upsd port on several FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE
systems with APC Smart-UPS 1000s. Every 10 minutes /var/log/messages
receives entries similar to
Jan 3 11:17:38 emu upsd[231]: apc_tune: toggle wraparound
Jan 3 11:17:39 emu upsd[231]: apc_tune: toggle wraparound
Jan 3 11:17:39 emu upsd[231]: apc_tune: negative response: NO
Jan 3 11:17:40 emu upsd[231]: apc_tune: toggle wraparound
The `apc_tune: negative response: NO' message also appears on the
console. I believe the frequency of these messages is due to the
every 600 {
tune "high-transfer-point" 264
tune "low-transfer-point" 196
tune "line-alarm" "0"
tune "line-sensitivity" "L"
tune "low-batteries-duration" 2
tune "nominal-voltage" 220
tune "shutdown-delay" 20
tune "wakeup-batteries-capacity" 25
tune "wakeup-delay" 0
# tune "batteries-replaced" "01/01/77"
# tune "label" "WildWind"
}
section in /etc/upsd.conf.
My experiments with removal of line power indicate that the shutdown
process and line restoration work properly. For the time being, I
have commented out these messages in apc.c.
What do these messages mean?
Do they indicate a problem that needs fixing for proper operation?
Are there other programs that work with the APC Smart-UPS?
