===Usage of apcupsd===
  −
The file ''/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf'' controls the configuration of the apcupsd daemon and is well documented. In addition to this ''/etc/apcupsd/apccontrol'' is called by the daemon whenever a UPS event occurs, and determines the standard action taken. User configurable actions can be taken by creating/editing files in /etc/apcupsd with names corresponding to relevant events, and these are called first by ''apccontrol''. For example, a file called ''onbattery'' will be called by ''apccontrol'' whenever an ON BATTERY event occurs, and if ''onbattery'' returns an exit code of 99, then ''apccontrol'' will not take its own default action.
  −
  −
To view the UPS status of settings and monitored values you can use
  −
/sbin/apcaccess
  −
  −
To configure the UPS EEPROM values you can use
  −
/etc/init.d/apcupsd stop
  −
/sbin/apctest
  −
  −
Follow the command line menu to make selections and set UPS configuration vales. The menu varies depending upon if you are using usb or serial communications, but generally allows for querying the UPS status, running a battery calibration, programming the EEPROM values and communicating directly with the UPS in TTY mode.

  −
Don't forget to restart the daemon when you are finished with apctest
  −
/etc/init.d/apcupsd start

{{Note box|The UPS EEPROM value for RETPCT (Return Percentage - battery charge required before UPS powers up/on after failure) should be greater than the value of BATTERYLEVEL (battery charge level that initiates a shutdown) in ''/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf''}}
