#include "template.inc" name=Apcupsd <H1 >Apcupsd a daemon for controlling APC UPSes</H1> <P><B>Apcupsd </B>can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd works with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office. During a power failure, <B>apcupsd</B> will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates. Apcupsd is licensed under the GPL version 2. <p> <h2><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/apcupsd"> Apcupsd Hosted on Source Forge</a></h2> We have moved the release of source and binaries (downloads) to Source Forge for several reasons: 1. Lack of manpower to maintain several sites, 2. The excellent Open Software Development services offered by Source Forge. In addition to hosting all our new releases, the Source Forge site has a CVS repository where you can find the very latest development software. Please visit it and become familiar with how it works. <h2><a href="3.10.x-manual/index.html" target="_top">Online 3.10.x Manual</a> or a <a href="3.10.x-manual/apcupsd.pdf" target="_top">PDF Version of the Manual</a> </h2> If you want to learn a bit more about <b>apcupsd</b>, you can browse the <a href="3.10.x-manual/index.html" target="_top">manual online</a>.
