Im using a Energizer HMOF600. I found this NUT software for managing the UPS but documentation is very difficult for me to understand. I might be asking more questions later.

But the power finally went off recently and the UPS didnt work. I installed the software on my laptop and then turned off the power to the UPS and it worked fine. I installed the software via WINE but there is a problem with it connecting to the UPS via the USB connection. I did a little searching but only found code that I had to write and didnt understand. Is there any software to help with this that someone knows about? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> There are some programs available in the repositories for managing APC UPSes. You did not specifiy what brand/model UPS you're using, however. $ apt-cache search ups | grep -i apc apcd - APC Smart UPS daemon apcupsd - APC UPS Power Management apcupsd-cgi - Cgi for APC UPS Power Management apcupsd-doc - Documentation for apcupsd -- -- AL -- </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
