how to use apm whithout battery


Hi, every body;

I want to use apm on my Pc as on the laptop, How to do it.
Because in my office, often i have power cut, i use an UPS. Sometime the cut is so long in night that the battery of the UPS battery doesn't support and stop. Unfortunaly I have to check the i-nodes.
I want to do the same thing as in my Laptop, I wrote a script which use the output of the apm command, then when the power is low, the system is properly halted.


Thank for help
best regard
bela

I think accomplishing this will have more to do with communicating with the UPS: I don't know that APM would be useful in this case. Perhaps you should check if there exists any driver software for linux that supports your particular UPS, and take it from there.
