I ended up with an APC BE550G from Amazon. It came yesterday so I plugged it in and let it charge up overnight. This morning I plugged my computer and monitors into it and this afternoon I have Googled and found I can install apcupsd via Synaptic. I also installed the GUI monitor gapcmon.
For instructions I used: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/apcupsd It helpfully told me a few things I needed to change in a couple of files. But it left out an important step: how to start the daemon. I took a guess that it was "sudo apcupsd start" and learned I was correct. I confirmed that apcupsd exists in /etc/init.d. Am I correct in assuming that apcupsd will start every time the machine boots? Thanks for all the support. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
