Running "apcaccess status" gives me healthy-looking output. But pulling the usb cable that connects to the UPS should cause apcupsd to generate an event entry in a log and also provide a notification message. It does neither as far as I can tell. I observe that XFCE Power Manager, which is installed by default on Lubuntu, is also monitoring the APC and aiming to provide various management features. Does anyone know if they can co-exist, or if they will conflict with each other as regards the UPS? One might think of trying to use just XFCE Power Manager as an alternative to apcupsd, but in the above test where I pulled the usb plug, X.P.M responded by closing its indicator icon and providing no notifications. </body> </html>
