I am unsure how to get the apcupsd process to start automatically at boot. I ththought all I had to do was make /etc/rc.d/apcupsd executeable. I have done this to no avail on both a 9.0 Pro system and a 9.1 Pro. Has anyone got this working? -- Patrick Gross Maple Valley, WA

Does /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf match your UPS? Cable, port, etc. ?
Has anyone got this working?
No problem on almost 100 systems. Both SuSE stock and self-compiled rpm. Regards, -Kastus

Yup, I can start it manually and it runs OK. It is the automagical startup on boot I'm missing. -- Patrick Gross Maple Valley, WA

Something has to start it, either the sysv init method or some script, that always runs on bootup.

I use it in Red Hat 7.3, where it's started during bootup.

Don't you need a link within /etc/init.d/rcX.d (X=3|5) that points to the program? Something like S99apcupsd pointing to ../apcupsd. -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Sat 06/05/04 10:00 10:00am up 2 days 16:19, 3 users, load average: 0.35, 0.22, 0.12
Did you activate it in the YAST runlevel editor? On Sat, 2004-06-05 at 17:08, Terry Eck wrote:

I would strongly recommend you to use the APC original PowerChute though. It has a lot more and mature functionality. And it's free for download at the APC site. Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

It also doesn't work with USB connected UPS, such as the two I've got.
