Re: [Apcupsd-users] APCUPSD for El Capitan

[Walter S. <wgs...@nc...>]

Actually, the APC is connected to my unRaid server's USB port. APCUPSD is installed and working on the unRaid. Was planning on installing APCUPSD on my MacPro which is also powered from the same APC and then configure APCUPSD to control the MacPro via NIS of this is still possible.

That is easy enough to deal with by hand editing the Darwin Makefile and running "./configure --sbindir=/usr/local/sbin". However, something else also changed in the kext (kernel extension) subsystem. If you've connected your UPS via USB then after rebooting apcupsd is not able to open the UPS device until you manually disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.
