UPS
===

This is with the UPS APC 700VA BX700U-GR

.. code:: bash

        sudo apt install apcupsd
        sudo cp /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf.bak
        sudo vi /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf

Notes some of these are just the defaults.

.. code:: bash

We also have to edit 

.. code:: bash

        sudo vi /etc/default/apcupsd

and there set ``ISCONFIGURED=yes``. Restart the service after configuration:

.. code:: bash

        sudo systemctl restart apcupsd.service
        sudo systemctl status apcupsd.service

The command sudo apcaccess gives a dump of features. Then to test the settings, stop the demon and run

.. code:: bash

        sudo apctest

We still have to test it by pulling the plug.
