Of course it'd be nice if your UPS monitoring software just found it by
itself, or presented you with a list of candidates.
It does not seem to do so, it being "nut," although I may have missed
something?

I initially tried the Belkin provided Linux software which looks as
though it might be ok, it produces some pretty screens but it wont
accept the password I was asked to enter and verify.  As a result I
can't begin to configure it.

I will continue the effort later, just had my morning coffee ...

Thanks.

And when you do get it configured, it will turn into a cpu hog, virtually killing the system if either gkrellm or its own gui ever query it.

I've tried to email them about it, but their replies always very carefully talk about other things. After 4 passes at making them understand that a module compiled on a red hat 5.1 system was not about to work on a modern system and being totally ignored, I asked the 5th time if I was trying to teach pigs to sing, and switched to apcupsd. I haven't had any power failures since, so I've NDI how it will react in that case. The original belkin sw would in fact issue a -wall broadcast and shut things down gracefully, when it worked...

As far as configuration, apcupsd finds /dev/hiddev0 all by itself. If you have more than /dev/hiddevX, then it might need some guidance.

That was good advice, I installed apcupsd and it immediately began to work. Controlling the UPS is not something I want to spend a few days on so I'm quite happy with the result so far. The configuration still needs some tweaking, I tried pulling the ac plug from the wall and it immediately initiated a shutdown which is not what I want but I suspect that can be fine tuned to give me a few minutes to save any work in progress?

And I wasn't able to find where to enter a "model" name, it just reports UPS when I do "status." The big thing is that it worked right off without a lot of searching for a device file, etc.

That and it shows the battery in a low state of charge? It should be near fully chargedsince its been doing nothing but charging for more than a day but that may simply based on an assumption that it is charging while turned on with apcupsd running? I'll wait and see if it comes up after a while.

This is what I see for status, notice BCHARGE:

service apcupsd start
Starting UPS monitoring:                                   [  OK  ]
[root@box6 ~]# service apcupsd status

I will remove the Belkin software. I don't need the fancy Windows style displays.

Tnx.
