Title: UPS HowTo
Post by: David Pennycuick on September 05, 2002, 06:05:44 PM
I have noticed one or two posts - apart from my own - from people with problems interfacing UPS to SME 5.5 or 5.1.

I have just got powerd running on my 5.5 box with a Leibert ups.  hooray!

I did it with:

1.  The UPS Howto (Harvey J Stein)
     http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/UPS-HOWTO.html

2.  A home made cable (email me for details)

3.  Discussion on this board over the last couple of days on ' How to add command upon boot ?  originated by Jesper.  Thanks to Nathan, Dan & Charlie.
     http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=5333.msg18824#msg18824

For those with trouble running powstatd - I suggest you try powerd.  Only shortcoming is that it only detects Fail and OK - not LO Batt.

Thanks again

David
