I have an APC SmartUPS and I use the apcupsd software.
Try this link: http://www.apcupsd.org/
It has a web interface. I can email you a screenshot if you are interested (I didn't want to spam the list with it).
I tried 'apt-get install apcupsd' and it worked, installing v3.10.something. I couldn't get apctest to work, though, and the package didn't include the CGI files I wanted, so I removed it and downloaded the src for v3.12.4 (stable). I compiled it, and everything seems to work, but it still didn't create the CGI files. I'm sure I set the ./configure options correctly, so why didn't it create the CGI files? I typed: ./configure --enable-powerflute --enable-cgi --with-cgi-bin=/var/www/web1/cgi-bin --with-css-dir=/var/www/web1/web --enable-usb --enable-pthreads --disable-dumb --enable-test --with-nis-port=3551 --sbindir=/sbin --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb and then: make install Here's config.out: Configuration on Sun Sep 17 12:53:30 EDT 2006: Host: i686-pc-linux-gnu -- debian 3.1 Apcupsd version: 3.12.4 (19 August 2006) Source code location: .
