I've just installed apcupsd using YaST on a SUSE 9.3 system and am confused by what I need to do to get it to work. YaST didn't give me any prompts or errors and I haven't found any SUSE README files or anything. Is there a SUSE way to activate the system or do I need to follow the apcupsd generic instructions?
The source of the apctest man page is in the packages doc area for example, but neither the man page nor the program itself are installed. It looks like a half-installed package?
I've got a Back-UPS CS 350 with a USB connection and the apcupsd config file needs me to specify something like /dev/usb/hiddev[0-15] but I've no idea how to determine the device number.
Thanks, Dave
Hi Dave, I have a UPS like yours working on SuSE 10.0.
