Why bother? The built-in software (Energy Saver) is good enough.
Never needed anything beyond that. If you wanted, I'm sure AppleScript and/or Automator could be added for more needs.

Maybe for the reason described in the first paragraph of colinng's hint? I've used apcupsd precisely for that purpose.

Good (enough) for you.

Do you a specific method to suggest for disabling APC UPS beeps instead of simply a think-you-know-better response?

Thanks for writing up this hint, colinng. Hopefully a few folks will appreciate it.

D'oh! I just accidentally gave it a 1- instead of 5-star vote… sorry.

Does the built-in monitor more than one UPS? Does it send email notifications?
