Thanks, that installed OK.  Do I still need to use PowerChute, or does this take its place?

Install apcupsd via yum - it supports USB. Set the following values
in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf:

UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE


The DEVICE setting has to be blank - the comments in the conf file
mention this. I have several of these UPSes that are monitored this way.
