Re: [SLE] apcupsd configuration

I've just installed apcupsd using YaST on a SUSE 9.3 system and am
confused by what I need to do to get it to work. YaST didn't give me
any prompts or errors and I haven't found any SUSE README files or
anything. Is there a SUSE way to activate the system or do I need to
follow the apcupsd generic instructions?

The source of the apctest man page is in the packages doc area for
example, but neither the man page nor the program itself are
installed. It looks like a half-installed package?

I've got a Back-UPS CS 350 with a USB connection and the apcupsd
config file needs me to specify something like /dev/usb/hiddev[0-15]
but I've no idea how to determine the device number.

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

I have a UPS like yours working on SuSE 10.0. Here is my apcupsd.conf

UPSNAME ruisantos
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
LOCKFILE /var/lock
ONBATTERYDELAY 6
BATTERYLEVEL 5
MINUTES 3
TIMEOUT 0
ANNOY 300
ANNOYDELAY 60
NOLOGON disable
KILLDELAY 0
NETSERVER on
NISIP 0.0.0.0
NISPORT 3551
EVENTSFILE /var/log/apcupsd.events
EVENTSFILEMAX 10
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable
STATTIME 30
STATFILE /var/log/apcupsd.status
LOGSTATS off

It is possible that it is not an optimal configuration but, it
works.. :)
