- apcd - daemon for communication with APC Smart UPS in the "smart" mode
-
- VERSION BETA 0.5 - BE EXTREMELY CAREFULL !!!
-
- Installation is very simple. Just "make install" and than:
- man apcd. In the man file, you can find how to setup the configuration file
- /etc/apcd.conf
-
- In the man page, you will also find the information about the cable between
- UPS and Linux box.
-
- Please test this version and report the bugs etc. to me.
-
- Soon, there will be some kind of the client for displaying UPS statistics.
-
- I hope that this small piece of the software will help you.
-
- Remember: DON'T PANIC
-
- Please, excuse-me a very long development cycle between 0.1 Alpha and 0.5
- Beta versions. I had a LOT of work and my spare time was very limited. It
- seems that now it will be better and I hope that the development will be
- much faster.

- P.S. I have absolutely no connection with company APC. I didn't sign any
- non-disclosure agreement and I didn't got the protocol description anywhere.
- The whole protocol decoding was made with a small program for capturing
- serial data on the line. So, I think that everybody can use this software
- without any problem.
