Has anyone used the software from APC (their backup "Plus") for Caldera? If so, does it work properly? If not, what software do you use in KDE to control an APC UPS?
Thanks,

Powerchute is what ships with APC power supplies (don't know what you're talking about 'backup plus') and it's crap. Look into apcupsd. If you have one of the usb comm models you'll need to build from tarball and --enable-usb, but it's completely brainless.
Here's the how-to I wrote the last time I said it was totally brainless and someone didn't get it. http://www.catherders.com/tikiwiki-1.9.0/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=11
Ok......thanks.
Anytime. apcupsd is one of those packages I wish I had written. My highest compliment - it just works. I've got it on 8 systems here at home. Power in north NJ goes out if it even looks like rain.
