Subject: Smart UPS w/ GENERICUPS_MODEL = 2
I have a APC Back-UPS and am using smartups-0.44.1-24 from the FTP
update site for SuSE 7.0. It detects powerfailure (OB - On Battery)
fine. However, it never detects the LB - Low Battery condition. To
check the cable, UPS, serial port, etc., I booted into Win98,
installed Powerchute, re-booted, and pulled the plug. Everyting
behaved as expected, shutdown started on Low Battery, etc.
What can I do to debug this, help the developer/maintainer fix it,
etc. It is nice to have a UPS to span short power outages. However,
I need clean shutdown too.
