The Perl UPS daemon is a software tool designed for APC BackUPS Pros and other APC devices that provides UPS daemon functionality. It enables the monitoring and control of these devices, ensuring their continued operation and uninterrupted power supply.
The Perl UPS daemon is a reliable UPS daemon designed specifically for use with the APC BackUPS Pros and other compatible APC devices. This daemon continuously monitors the UPS and immediately alerts all users when it detects an on-battery condition. In cases where a low battery condition is detected, the daemon will trigger an UPS shutdown and subsequently shut down the machine.
Although there are other UPS daemons available, such as NUT, the Perl UPS daemon was created in response to the need for more control over how the daemon behaves when the device is on battery. With less than 200 lines of code, this perl script offers complete customizability through easy editing.
It is important to note that this daemon assumes that the UPS is connected via a 940-0024C cable. In the event that the cable shipped with the BackUPS Pro 420 is different, users can refer to the wiring diagram provided by the NUT team to create a suitable cable. While there, users may also want to check out NUT's UPS daemon, which offers more features and better support. If anyone discovers the correct wiring for a different cable, the creator of the Perl UPS daemon would be very interested to hear about it.
