installed 3.14.4 Mac OS X binary package.

apcaccess works,
and I can see the STATUS change to ONBATT when i pull the plug of the UPS,
I changed TIMEOUT 0 to TIMEOUT 30 to test the automatic shutdown,
but the shutdown never happens.

if I check the system.log

when I was using the safe.apccontrol it logged the system shutdown
Jun 28 23:01:39 mira-hans-computer apcupsd[258]: Power failure.
Jun 28 23:01:45 mira-hans-computer apcupsd[258]: Running on UPS batteries.

Jun 28 23:04:45 mira-hans-computer apcupsd[258]: Power is back. UPS running on mains.


but when I went back to the original apccontrol
it never even saw a system shutdown

Jun 28 23:11:27 mira-hans-computer apcupsd[258]: Power is back. UPS running on mains.

and if I do a killpower
it's reports error.

Jun 28 23:50:51 mira-hans-computer apcupsd[446]: apcupsd error shutdown completed

how can I get it to work?
thanks

The apccontrol script has no control over what is logged to system.log, so
this change in behavior was not due to switching from safe.apccontrol to
normal apccontrol. Rather, I would guess you changed apcupsd.conf TIMEOUT
back to 0 by mistake.

Use apctest (shut down apcupsd first) to test killpower. Do not try to do
it by hand.

It works now.
I think the problem was that I didn't restart the system or the daemon 
after switching from safe.apccontrol to the original apccontrol.
thanks
