hackdorte@20007 1 Apcupsd is a program for monitoring UPSes and performing a graceful computer
hackdorte@20007 2 shutdown in the event of a power failure. It runs on Linux, Mac OS/X, Win32,
hackdorte@20007 3 BSD, Solaris, and other OSes.
hackdorte@20007 4
hackdorte@20007 5 Apcupsd can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC’s UPS
hackdorte@20007 6 models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd works with most of APC’s
hackdorte@20007 7 Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS,
hackdorte@20007 8 and BackUPS-Office. During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users
hackdorte@20007 9 about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not
hackdorte@20007 10 restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a
hackdorte@20007 11 timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC
hackdorte@20007 12 calculations determined by power consumption rates. Apcupsd is licensed under
hackdorte@20007 13 the GPL version 2.
