There is no documentation or manual, and certain things could have been more flexible. Even worse, I do not really know anymore any details about the upsd. As far as I remember it should work with all the APC UPSes which support SmartUPS protocol. The only difference from model to model is the values of ups settings. What you should do is find out the values for your model, by experiment and hard code your model into apc-static.c file (As far as I remember again) Yes, I know there probably should have been a simple utility to test ups and collect all the values and store them into config file automatically, and there should have been documentation etc Perhaps somebody will pick it up, but personally I will not have to do that. Besides I also do not have access to the equipment anymore. Good luck, Alexis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
