I have a NT box currently plugged into the master port on the ShareUPS running Powerchute. This box doesn't run 24x7 unlike the FreeBSD boxes ;) Anyway I have been trying to get the UPSd from the ports collection to run on the FreeBSD machines. I have tried a cable as per the spec on http://www.cre8tivegroup.com/upsd.html and the APC cable and none seem to work with my configuration. I have tried using the upsd.conf.sample file, renamed as the configuration file and it says that it cannot switch to smart mode. I have also tried the default config and it says that it fails the self-test. Can someone please enlighten me and if possible send me a .conf that works (privately :) for 240V? Is the 3 wire cable all I need as per the above URL or should I be running with a cable configured exactly the same as the APC one? On another note I've set up the ShareUPS so that it runs till 2 min warning and then it shuts down the UPS so it cycles the power on startup. Is there a way to set up the .conf to make an impossibly large wait for the shutdown time and when the daemon receives the 2 min warning triggers a shutdown. Thanks for the help.
