[Apcupsd-users] APCUPS for Solaris

[Pickering, Roger (NIH/NIAAA) [E]]

I need to be able to connect my Solaris server to my APC Smart UPS, but my Solaris server doesn't have a serial port and the Power Chute software doesn't support the USB port in Solaris.

I've tried several times to compile your code with USB support, but I get an incredible amount of errors:

"/opt/csw/apc/apcupsd-3.14.14/include/struct.h", line 206: warning: no explicit type given

"/opt/csw/apc/apcupsd-3.14.14/include/struct.h^Cgmake[3]: *** Deleting file '.obj/apcerror.o'

I'm running Solaris 10 on a SUN Fire, x4250. The UPS is a SmartUPS 1000.

Hi Roger:

According to the following:

You can use a USB to Serial dongle. I wrote an exhaustive article
on these here:

Beware there's a lot of trash out there.
