Firstly, excuse me my English. I am the programmer, not the language teacher.

BIG HELLO TO ALL INTELLIGENT LIFEFORMS EVERYWHERE !!!
The time of waiting is over......
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.
