It doesn't seem to work for me. After a while running and responding, the daemon seems to die, or stall. For example, in the first time I use apcaccess (right after booting) it works. But after some time, it stalls and doesn't respond. Trying to restart apcupsd also doesn't work. I run sid, and I've been compiling kernels from kernel.org (I believe this may be the reason). What are you running (kernel and version of Debian)? J. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
