APC UPS with USB ? Anybody?
Hi, I need to connect my freebsd server to APC BackUPS 500 RS. The problem is that apcupsd does not support this combination. Ports was not really helpful. So, if anybody have the patches, or any idea of how to make it working I would realy appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance. -- With best regards, Gregory Edigarov -- profi.kharkov.uaSystems Administrator -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks a lot in advance. We wrote a simple monitoring program that works against the RS and ES series. It doesnt do much but it will let you know when its on battery and not.

That would be sufficient to create a script to monitor the power state, maybe have the script check the status again in 10 minutes and shutdown the PC if necessary. It can be done right? --- Mike Tancsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 6 Apr 2004 11:11:03 +0300, in sentex.lists.freebsd.questions you wrote: Hi, I need to connect my freebsd server to APC BackUPS 500 RS.

It can be done right? The time estimate is very inaccurate on the ES and RS units that I have used. You would have better luck shutting down based on battery strength. You can glean this info from the proc title, or process it as it gets sent to local1 via syslog. But yes, it can be done eg here is a sample power failure as it gets recorded in local1 Feb 16 13:04:33 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 49% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:04:34 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 48% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:04:34 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 47% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:04:35 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 46% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:04:57 noborders last message repeated 6 times Feb 16 13:04:57 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 45% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:05:19 noborders last message repeated 7 times Feb 16 13:05:20 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 44% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:05:24 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 43% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:05:24 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 43% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:05:24 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 42% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:05:25 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 41% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:05:49 noborders last message repeated 6 times Feb 16 13:05:53 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 40% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:05 noborders last message repeated 8 times Feb 16 13:06:05 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 39% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:06 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 38% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:06 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 37% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:11 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 37% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:14 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 36% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:41 noborders last message repeated 10 times Feb 16 13:06:45 noborders last message repeated 2 times Feb 16 13:06:45 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 35% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:46 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 34% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:46 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 33% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:06:47 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 32% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:07:08 noborders last message repeated 6 times Feb 16 13:07:08 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 31% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:07:19 noborders last message repeated 3 times Feb 16 13:07:20 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 30% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:07:20 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 30% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:07:20 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 29% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:07:21 noborders apc-upsd: Battery strength Level 28% ETTL 1 min Feb 16 13:07:22 noborders last message repeated 2 times ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
