To set up apcupsd on SME 7.4
Setup the DAG repository
The following command will configure the Dag repository on SME Server. EDIT NOT COMPLETE!
To create an entry in the database for the epel repository we open put the following commands in a terminal
window or in a shell window:
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set epel repository \
Name 'SME Server - epel' \ BaseURL 'http://<http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch' \ EnableGroups yes \ GPGCheck yes \ Visible no \ status disabled
To enable the changes:
signal-event yum-modify
Just to be sure, give yum a fresh start:
yum clean all
After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:
signal-event yum-modify
Installation
Install apcupsd
yum install --enablerepo=dag --enablerepo=base apcupsd
Copy original conf file
cp apcupsd.conf apcupsd.conf.orig
Copy CGI files
cp /var/www/apcupsd/* /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/cgi-bin/
Link the startup script
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S99apcupsd
Set the Service in SME
config set apcupsd service status enabled
Configuration
Edit /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf. The conf file has good detail on setup options.
Suggest setting the TIMEOUT to 600 seconds; You shouldn't let UPS batteries run down to 5% (default) as this massively shortens their life. Set TIMEOUT to 10 for testing.
Reboot or
/etc/init.d/apcupsd start
to start the service.
Usage
http://yourdomain.tld/cgi-bin/multimon.cgi gives a nice look at the UPS status, including a log of past events
