CyberPower UPS and PowerPanel Linux daemon on FreeBSD

2007-05-07 Thread L Goodwin
I need to buy a UPS for a FreeBSD 6.2 fileserver.
The APC model I was going to buy is over-priced at
local stores, so I'm looking at other brands available
locally.

The CyberPower CP800AVR 800VA/450W UPS has USB and
RS-232 ports and supports auto-shutdown for Linux (and
Mac OS X).

Would the Linux daemon will work for FreeBSD, and if
so, is the installation/configuration on FreeBSD going
to be the same as for Linux? Here's a link to the
Linux User's Guide containing install instructions:

Thanks!

Although I don't have the answer to your question I did want to put in a 
good word for that precise model.  I've had mine for some time and 
remain quite satisfied, although it's connected to a windows machine 
drawing around 180W.  (a surplus 2.5KW boat anchor build before USB was 
available backs up the fbsd machines...)

I am fairly confident that apcupsd (in ports) will support many  
cyberpower UPSes, but I haven't found a definitive statement.  You  
may wish to ask on the apcupsd-users mailing list.
