10.4: Control UPS via Energy Saver preferences panel
Authored by: sjk on Aug 24, '05 08:33:03PM

Additional tip:

The /usr/libexec/upsshutdown script determines what happens during a shutdown that's triggered when the UPS setting reaches a designated Energy Saver shutdown value. It's written for OS X Server so some customization is needed to make it more compatible with client OS X.

Configuration question:

Does anyone know if an APC UPS (the ES-725, to be specific) can be configured without using the PowerChute software? I didn't find anything when I looked awhile ago. Precisely, I'd like to turn off the annoying alarm BEEPING the UPS blurts out during a power outage.

I remember once hearing that the PC version would allow the firmware to disable to the beep. I tried to use the PC PowerChute software with VirtualPC but it would not recognize the APC ES 500.
