UPS & Linux

[Daniel Siemens]

I have a current ups problem going on currently.   The UPS is a apc Smart 3000 and I'm trying to 
get it working with the pbe_agent from APC's web site.  The software requires JAVA to be installed 
and is a mess.   Does anyone know if this stuff works with snmp?
 
I have tried NUT (network UPS Tool) with some success in the past.   My last stumper has been with 
Supermicro P4SGE mainboards and APC Backup UPS pro 1100's from Sams Club.   Whenever the unit goes 
to battery, it locks up the computer.  Never did get this to work at all.
 
That's life with UPS's.   I have the apcups working great with a backup ups 500 model.

I've always had good luck with APC.  APC has been the only brand of UPS
that I've seen at webhosting companies i've toured.
