Publicat la 26 January 2013 Scrie si tu o vorbulita (0) Comentarii

apcupsd is a daemon which will monitor your APC SmartUPS to shutdown your system when the UPS' power is going to fail. apcupsd will work with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office.

install the daemon: [codesyntax lang="bash"]
```
apt-get install apcupsd
```
[/codesyntax]
edit /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf and change these lines
1. UPSNAME myownups
2. UPSCABLE usb
3. UPSTYPE usb
4. comment out DEVICE (it contains a TTY link, which will prevent it from working)
edit /etc/default/apcupsd
1. change ISCONFIGURED from no to yes
start apcupsd daemon[codesyntax lang="bash"]
```
/etc/init.d/apcupsd start
```
[/codesyntax]
check ups status[codesyntax lang="bash"]
```
apcaccess status
```
[/codesyntax]
install APCUPSD-CGI web interface: [codesyntax lang="bash"]
```
apt-get install apcupsd-cgi
```
[/codesyntax]Note: For this to work you MUST have CGI enabled in your Apache configuration and the CGI directory should be pointed at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
