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?

HI Rich, Are you *sure* it didn't create the CGI files, or did it just put them somewhere that you didn't expect? Here is what I found on my version 3.12.4 of the software: ./src/cgi/multimon.cgi ./src/cgi/upsfstats.cgi ./src/cgi/upsimage.cgi ./src/cgi/upsstats.cgi I would try "make distclean; ./configure ... ; make" again. I wouldn't do the "make install" until you're sure you have everything you want. Later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFDbpkHl0iXDssISsRAlywAJwO3kmS+XFbF7yOS6oaaEkQObft4gCbBRHO QL1aucSKJDGmYHcj7CUzCAs= =eAQR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I couldn't find the CGI files with find. So, I tried again, running "make" before trying "make install".

Here are the results: http://gs750.richardklein.org/cgi-bin/multimon.cgi

Yeah, that looks about right!

Thanks Chuck! I have hours invested into apcupsd now, though, and I'm determined to make that work. :) -- Rich Chuck Anderson wrote:

I've acquired an APC SmartUPS and plugged it into my server that runs Debian 3.1 (sarge). The Powerchute disc that came with it says it has versions for Red Hat, SuSE, TurboLinux, and a couple other distros, but they don't mention Debian. I haven't looked at the contents of the CD yet, but I bet there are some interesting alternatives from other sources than APC.

What software would you guys suggest I try with the UPS? I don't have X installed on the server, so command-line is the way to go, but a web interface would be neat!
