Have you considered other software alternatives? |

My prefered UPS monitor is NUT (sys-power/nut on gentoo) |
| 4 |
www.networkupstools.org |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Highly (and I do mean HIGHLY) configurable, support for many different |
| 7 |
brands of UPS, shutdown of multiple network-connected PCs on the same |
| 8 |
UPS, even GUI apps for display of UPS state data (see |
| 9 |
net-misc/knutclient). |

Have a look if it does what you need. |
