Let me be more Debian specific. I have been playing with apcupsd and on my RedHat box, when the power goes out, the apccontrol script broadcasts a message on the KDE desktop using Kwrited. I can't get this functionality to work on Debian. Both boxes are using apcupsd 3.8.5. How can I get Debian to do the same? Not a big deal really....just trying to learn something new....
