RE: APC UPS question
I have a backups 280 and there is no serial port on it. Are you sure your looking at the right thing? In any case a 280 is barely enough to keep a PC powered much less a PC and monitor. I use mine for my DSL modem and DSL router. There's lots of SmartUPS 450 UPSs on Ebay. Find one that the seller isn't claiming that he has 'refurbished' with new batteries. Buy it and when it arrives just buy new batteries from any electrical store and give them your old ones. (since it's going to be a given that the batteries will be toasted no matter what the seller claims) APS themselves also sells refurbs off their website.

re: APC UPS question
I have purchased a few APC Ups's from a vendor on Ebay. Wonderful to work with. a few weeks ago the UPS I purchased about 1 and a half years ago had a electrical problem and the ups failed. He sent me another unit and it arrived in just a few days. I Paid $179 for a APC Smart 1400 RM UPS. I currently have 3 servers attached to it with my various other routers and it will run for about 20 or 30 minutes. With only 1 server it will run for almost 90 minutes or so. He sends out NEW batteries with the unit's... http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZupspowerQQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1 already i see he has a few Net UPS 650's for $79 or a Smart UPS 700 for $100 On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 23:05:32 -0700, Matt Navarre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm in the market for a UPS that works with FreeBSD.

RE: APC UPS question
they all use the same protocol, the difference is between the smart ups and the backups. all smartups use one protocol all backups use another. The very newest ones with usb and such might have changed this, I don't know. incidentally with the smartups you can query the ups for the amount of runtime left so you know how much life is left in the battery, the ups self-tests this periodically and you can send a command to it to do this. Very useful.

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? 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.

Re: APC UPS
Mark, I have an APC 750XL smart UPS powering my server and home automation setup. I have taken to using the PowerChute software provided by APC under linux emulation, which works quite well so long as you modify the shell scripts for use on a BSD system. I haven't tried running the apcupsd daemon, though, so YMMV. Good luck, Seth Henry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
