I gave up on apcupsd for my BackUPS Pro 1000 and switched to nut. It works well for me. To get it to work, I added the line UPS myups /var/lib/nut/genericups-ttyS0 genericups -t 9 /dev/ttyS0 to /etc/nut/upsd.conf and the line MONITOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 [PASSWORD] master to /etc/nut/upsmon.conf My BackUPS Pro 1000 doesn't speak APC SmartSignaling so I have to use the generic type 9 cable. YMMV. nut-doc is a good package to have installed.
