Apcupsd is a program for monitoring UPSes and performing a graceful computer
shutdown in the event of a power failure. It runs on Linux, Mac OS/X, Win32,
BSD, Solaris, and other OSes.
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. |
