Technical notes on my code submission of 11 May 00 Kern Sibbald General: - Some additions to the manual, particularly concerning "dumb" UPSes. Clarification of cable requirements. Added quick search tags to the configuration manual for use with the new configurator. - Added a new option to allow apcupsd to do a powerkill before exiting when a power loss is detected. - Joseph Acosta has been working on a nice Browser based configuration utility for creating apcupsd configuration files. I include his contribution in contrib/apcupsdconf Changes submitted this submission: - Updated Makefile.in version to 3.7.2 - apcaction.c added code to call kill_power() before the shutdown if the kill_on_powerfail option is set. - apcnet.c removed the terminate() from kill_net() it is now done in the main program. - apcoptd.c Added the -p and --kill_on_powerfail option which causes apcupsd to issue a powerkill command before the shutdown command. I have certain misgivings about this command, but it seems to be necessary in some cases. - apcupsd.c added terminate() after the kill_power() and kill_net() subrotine calls as it is no longer done in these routines. - Added a new directory contrib/apcupsdconf, which contains the submission of a Web browser based configuration utility for apcupsd submitted by Joe Acosta.
