+1. diana is right a LOT. > If I search for upsd in the ports, I get the following: > > # make search key=upsd `make search' is awesome, but also check the Makefile for the port. or heck, on the $arch in question you could worst case try `make package' and see if it works. if it doesn't, the pkg is probably marked broken or something - in which case i'd check archives of ports@ (or cvsweb) and hope i can find why :). > Which one should I use apc-upsd or upsd ? try the one you're most familiar with first and if it doesn't work exactly how you want out of the box, try the other one(s). if that doesn't get you anywhere, do some checking in /usr/share/doc/$PKG and /usr/share/examples/$PKG and if still nothing check back from there -- jared
