If you can't change apcupsd.conf config to meet your needs then _don't_ change apccontrol; add a custom script that does an "exit 99" to prevent the shutdown from running.
It looks like you're right... EXCEPT that you missed the part about changing apccontrol.sh.in, which appears to me to be something you get if
No I didn't. It's not relevant to rpm installs.
you build apcusd, rather than just install it via yum. And there's no other obvious way to deal with not wanting to shut it down if you have multiple machines, and don't want to ever have it tell everybody to shut down.
Yes there is; create a custom script for the command ($1) that you want to trap and make it exit 99; then apccontrol will not continue on to the shutdown part.
Which I said previously.
Suggestions on what I can do *other* than build the package myself? I
Read what apccontrol does; determine the commands you want to trap (probably doshutdown, doreboot) and create a script of that name in /etc/apcupsd/ and make it "exit 99".
FWIW, my UPS trips many times...
eg Oct 8 10:03:11 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power failure. Oct 8 10:03:15 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power is back. UPS running on mains. Oct 10 20:57:12 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power failure. Oct 10 20:57:14 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power is back. UPS running on mains. Oct 11 18:51:35 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power failure. Oct 11 18:51:38 myhost apcupsd[9774]: Power is back. UPS running on mains.
You might want to check apcaccess for expected runtime
