1 - Summary
This guides will show you how to install apcupsd in OpenBSD. Apcupsd is used
for power management and controlling of APC UPS's. This has been tested in
OpenBSD 4.4 and 4.6.
2 - Dependencies
Install the msmtp package. Msmtp is an SMTP client used to send email. We will
use it to send email notifications.
# pkg_find msmtp
clamsmtp-*.tgz
msmtp-*.tgz
# sudo pkg_add msmtp-*.tgz
Password:
The pkg_find utility used above is a shell script I've created that can search
the list of available packages.
#!/bin/sh
# This script will look for packages with the search term.
echo=/bin/echo
lynx=/usr/bin/lynx
pkg_path=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/$rel/packages/$arch/index.txt
tr=/usr/bin/tr
cut=/usr/bin/cut
grep=/usr/bin/grep
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
exit 0
else
# check if a valid parameter
if [ "$1" == "-help" ]
then
$echo Usage: pkg_find [string]
else
$lynx -dump $pkg_path | $tr -s " " | $cut -d " " -f 10 | $grep -i $1
fi
fi
exit 0
# cd ~
# vi pkg_find
# sudo chown root:bin pkg_find
Password:
# sudo chmod 555 pkg_find
Password:
# sudo mv pkg_find /usr/sbin/
Password:
Here is an example of what it can do.
# pkg_find -help
Usage: pkg_find [string]
# pkg_find msmtp
clamsmtp-*.tgz
msmtp-*.tgz
Find where the msmtp binary was installed to.
# pkg_info -L msmtp-* | grep bin
/usr/local/bin/msmtp
Run ldd to display the shared objects (.so) needed to run the msmtp binary. If
there are any shared objects in /usr/local you will need to run ldconfig.
# ldd /usr/local/bin/msmtp

You will also need some information about the UPS and the UPS cable.
Model number
UPS cable type
The serial port or USB ports will need to be enabled in the BIOS of the
computer. You can find out the serial port or USB port information by typing
out the following.
# dmesg | grep -E "com|American Power Conversion" | grep -E "16550|American Power Conversion"
com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
In this case we are using the serial port.
3 - Apcupsd installation
Apcupsd can be downloaded at http://www.apcupsd.org/. Download and install the
current source files.
# cd ~
# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/apcupsd/apcupsd - Stable/$ver/apcupsd-$ver.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf apcupsd-*.tar.gz
# cd apcupsd-*/
# ./configure --enable-usb
# gmake
# sudo gmake install
Password:
# sudo gmake clean
Password:
4 - Service configuration
Find where the apcupsd daemon was installed to.
# sudo ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib
Password:
# sudo whereis apcupsd
Password:
/sbin/apcupsd
Run ldd to display the shared objects (.so) needed to run the apcupsd binary.
If there are any shared objects in /usr/local you will need to run ldconfig.
# sudo ldd /sbin/apcupsd
Password:
/sbin/apcupsd:
Start End Type Open Ref GrpRef Name
1c000000 3c00f000 exe 1 0 0 /sbin/apcupsd
0d906000 2d90f000 rlib 0 1 0 /usr/lib/libpthread.so.11.1

0226a000 0226a000 rtld 0 1 0 /usr/libexec/ld.so
Configure /etc/rc.local, so the apcupsd service will start at boot time. Modify
to have the following.
# Start the UPS daemon. Do not remove the 'TAG_APCUPSD' text
if [ -x /etc/rc.apcupsd ]; then # TAG_APCUPSD
/etc/rc.apcupsd start # TAG_APCUPSD
fi # TAG_APCUPSD
# sudo vi /etc/rc.local
Password:
Find where the configuration file should be put.
# grep apcupsd.conf /etc/rc.apcupsd
# sudo strings /sbin/apcupsd | grep apcupsd.conf
Password:
Cannot perform killpower without authentication data. Please set ip:user:pass for DEVICE in \
apcupsd.conf.
## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ##
/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
You can modify the apccontrol script to send email notifications for different
UPS events.
# sudo cp /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol.example
Password:
# sudo vi /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol
Password:
You can create your own configuration file. Here is a simple example. This
uses an APC UPS 940-0095A serial cable.
## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ##
UPSCABLE 940-0095A
UPSTYPE apcsmart
DEVICE /dev/tty00
LOCKFILE /var/spool/lock
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable
# sudo cp /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf.example
Password:
# sudo vi /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
Password:
Start the apcupsd service.
# sudo /etc/rc.apcupsd start
Password:
Starting apcupsd power management Done.
# sudo cat /var/run/apcupsd.pid

6 - Service check
Reboot your computer. Log in like normal and check to see that the apcupsd
service is running. That's it, now you have apcupsd running in OpenBSD.
# sudo shutdown -r now
