I walked past an APC UPS on sale for several weeks at Costco and of course when time to pull the trigger came it wasn't there so I picked an otherwise very nice looking Tripp Lite model.
Tripp Lite Smart1000LCD
http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtModelID=3071
My question to you folks is very simple - should I bother keeping it in the hope of getting FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE working with *any* type of ups daemon or return the bloody thing and go with an APC brand?
I have tried apcupsd to no avail...followed a couple guides that _should_ work, but of course that's assuming it would be compatible with this unit at all.
nut doesn't seem to be what I am after either - want a simple daemon to shutdown server once UPS on battery for X minutes or after UPS battery < certain threshold.
At this point it seems that apcupsd is simply incompatible with this unit - return it or other options?
TIA
