But the idiot light's still on.
So, looking at all the values that the "apcsmart" choice can give me, the first thing is UPS status. I've been googling for a while, and can't find a single reference to it. Anyone have a link to somewhere that will give me the status codes (and their meaning)?
The only thing that comes to mind is to check out NUT ( Network UPS Tools ) at http://www.networkupstools.org and see if their source code can answer your questions.
THANK YOU! That was it!
I've been using NUT for some time with APC units and had no issues when changing batteries, but I have a vague memory of some models being fussy about noticing the new battery. Google should be able to find those discussions for you.
Hmmm... that could be the problem. I'll look Monday.
Thanks, very much.
