"Apcupsd can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd works with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office. During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates. Apcupsd is licensed under the GPL version 2." [1]

Installation

Emerging

Emerge No results:

root # emerge apcupsd

Configuration and Runlevel Registration

Edit your /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf properly.

To start apcupsd, run the following:

root # /etc/init.d/apcupsd start

To add apcupsd to the appropriate runlevels, execute the following commands:

root # rc-update add apcupsd default
 * service apcupsd added to runlevel default
root # rc-update add apcupsd.powerfail shutdown
 * service apcupsd added to runlevel shutdown

Check UPS status

Finally, to check on the status of acpupsd, run the following:

root # apcaccess status
root # tail -f /var/log/apcupsd.events

-<blockquote>
+==Installation==
-Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) is a set of Java classes which provides scripting language support within Java applications, and access to Java objects and methods from scripting languages. BSF allows one to write JSPs in languages other than Java while providing access to the Java class library. In addition, BSF permits any Java application to be implemented in part (or dynamically extended) by a language that is embedded within it. This is achieved by providing an API that permits calling scripting language engines from within Java, as well as an object registry that exposes Java objects to these scripting language engines.
