APC powerchute sucks. At least the SCO version i've seen.
I've got the chance to hold my hands on two APC Smart UPSen for a
weekend recently. I owe great thanks to Ty Hoeffer,
<pth3k@galen.med.virginia.edu>, who's been publishing his knowlege.
The result is a simple Smart UPS monitor, and a much more valuable
file smartups.h, describing as much of the Smart UPS protocol as i
could examine while i've got them available.
The result will be in /xperimnt on the 2.1 CD. I would upload it to
ftp.{freebsd.org,cdrom.com}, but the lines from Europe are simply
terrible these days.
The snapshot should be available as
ftp://ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de/pub/people/wunsch/smartups/smartups.tar.gz
really soon now.
