We do nothing more than the 'howto' and it works.

Is the service running?  /etc/init.d/apcupsd status

A reboot will start the service, but /etc/init.d/apcupsd start is simpler

Agreed. But it starts and then fails hence the status shows it as dead. when I do apctest it can't find the UPS.
/var/log/messages has:
Code: [Select]
apcupsd[9459]: apcupsd FATAL ERROR in linux-usb.c at line 609 Cannot find UPS device -- For a link to detailed USB trouble shooting information, please see <http://www.apcupsd.com/support.html>.which I believe also means it failed because it could not find the UPS. So that seems to be the root cause.

Your upsc command failed so I am now guessing this is where the conflict lies (ie. mine works). A reboot may load the drivers differently. I can give this a shot when my system is a little more idle.

Do you get anything if you use (not that is a capital V):
Code: [Select]
/usr/sbin/upsd -Vupsc should be at:
Code: [Select]
/usr/bin/upsc
Thanks for looking into it. Further suggestions are also welcome.
