I'm sure I saw threads there on APC UPS, so yes it won't hurt if you post |
24 |
there. |

You can try sys-power/nut, and use something like: |
35 |
|
36 |
sudo /opt/local/bin/usbhid-ups -a apcups -DD |
37 |
|
38 |
to get some debug info from your UPS, after you set up the configuration |
39 |
files. You could either try the apcupsd-ups driver which acts as an apcupsd |
40 |
client, or you give usbhid-ups a spin as I show above. In any case, I trust |
41 |
that the guys at the nut M/L will give sound advice for your particular UPS - |
42 |
unless some gentoo user with this UPS chimes in first. |

HTH. |
