/***************************************************************************/
/* ChangeLog of apcupsd */
/* Riccardo Facchetti <riccardo@master.oasi.gpa.it> */
/* http://www.oasi.gpa.it/riccardo/linux/apcupsd */
/* http://www.sibbald.com/apcupsd */
/* ftp://ftp.oasi.gpa.it/pub/apcupsd */
/***************************************************************************/
----> Released apcupsd-3.8.1Beta9 (28 Apr 2001)
- As promised with release apcupsd-3.8.1-5, I have
now added pthreads support -- well, at least it is
a first cut. The reentrant library calls must still
be added where appropriate.
- Configuration with ./configure is now much more
complete. See kes09Apr01 and kes10Apr01 in techlogs.
- See kes28Apr01 in techlogs for more details of the
pthreads implementation.
----> Released apcupsd-3.8.1-5 (6 Apr 2001)
- This version is a pre-release of version 3.8.2.
It contains fixes for most known problems.
- Major work has been done to include in this release
much of the code that will go into version 4.0.
- Addition merging of 3.8 and 4.0 will occur prior
to the final release of 3.8.2
- The only major addition that I am planning to 3.8.2
for the next prerelease (3.8.1-6) will be pthread
support (at least the first cut).
- The name of apcnetd has been changed to apcnisd
New Features:
- New indenting standard (see code). Not yet uniformly
applied -- work in progress.
- New NetBSD support.
- Updated Debian support.
- apccontrol now called with additional arguments.
- GNOME realtime monitoring program added in gupsc
directory (not supported).
- Improved shutdown on WinNT.
- Self test detection.
- TCP Wrapper support (untested).
- New KILLDELAY <seconds> configuration directive (untested)
that causes apcupsd to wait after issuing a shutdown, and
after the delay seconds have expired, it will issue a
kill power to the UPS. Potentially useful on systems
where apcupsd cannot regain control after completing
a system shutdown (i.e. WinNT).
- Multimon can now use css for more control by the user.
See techlogs/kes06Apr01 for details.
----> Released apcupsd-3.8.1
See techlogs/kes08Dec00
Corrected depend creation in config.status.
See techologs/kes05Dec00 for details
Fixed Win32 to work with simple signalling UPSes.
Upgraded Win32 to CGYWIN 1.1.5.
Fixed an Alpha Tru64 64/32 bit problem in the networking code.
Fixed the random incorrect on battery timers (I think).
Upgraded to latest version of gcc
Do much better argument checking in the .cgi programs. This
improves security (at least psychologically).
----> Released apcupsd-3.8.0
Additional updates to apctest.c, it now tests
Smart UPSes as well as Dumb UPSes
Increase getline buffer size
Quick documentation of apctest.c
----> Released apcupsd-3.8.0-pre7
See techologs/kes27Oct00
Win32 make binary_tar_file
Rewrote the 940-0119A cable code based on Jason A. Smith's testing.
Improved apcupsd version print out.
Win32 and Signaling UPS documentation.
----> Released apcupsd-3.8.0-pre6
See techlogs/kes21Oct00
A number of Win32 fixes including an email program for Win95/98.
Put Win32 system binaries in source code.
Fixed WinNT problem when running as a master or slave.
Win32 make install.
Minor corrections to scripts.
Fixed a Solaris xlib link problem in the cgi directory.
----> Released apcupsd-3.8.0-pre5 for testing
See techlogs/kes17Oct00

incompatible preprocessor macros when a set of little functions can do
the job.

in, but intl strings have still to be translated (to be done in the
future).
Reorganized documentation.
Reorganized support for distributions. Now we have a directory for
every possible distribution (suse, unifix, debian etc etc) so that the

Redesigned "apcsetup.c" to allow for ease of parameter setup.
----> apcupsd-3.5.7
Added 940-0024G cable.
"newbackupspro" to be replaced by "backupspropnp"
If you have a BackUPS Pro UPS that is identified as
BP(SIZE)(EXTRAS) examples BP420SC/BP650SC/BP650PRO-PnP,
then you have a PnP BackUPS Pro that is very near a SmartUPS.
Else anything with the identifier BK(SIZE)PRO or BKPRO(SIZE)
is the very early version of the "dumbed down smartups".
Unfortunately, it has very little to say. It is superior to the
classic BackUPS (simple signals) in that it can at least tell event
histories and if the batteries are faulted.
now powerflute is compiling and working, needs THREADS

Network death solved (hopefully)
PowerFlute removed due to unexplainable daemon kills under 2.0.X. and
some cases of 2.1.X. (TCPIP)
This is replaced bye the original tool that now works "apcaccess".
"apcaccess" is functional under both 2.0.X and 2.1.X kernels without
killing the damon "apcupsd".
EPROM programming of many UPS models is now functional.

Smart V/S is in the same class as a BackUPS Pro.
Riccardo Facchetti <riccardo@master.oasi.gpa.it> has been volunteered to solve the
network part for the project. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Andre,
I own a SmartUPS v/s and I have played a bit with your apcupsd. I have
found that the SmartUPS v/s command set is similar (if not equal) to the
one of BackUPS PRO, so I have changed the apcupsd.c code to behave this
way and seems to work well.
Another thing: I would like to have an application like powerchute. Of
course I am willing to write it, so I will call it powerflute.
My idea is:
apcupsd -> daemon
- controls power status
- listen on a TCP socket for incoming connections
- get a command from TCP line
- send the response to the command
powerflute -> application
- connect to apcupsd
- sends a command to apcupsd
- get the response from apcupsd
apcupsd is listening to the socket with a select so it don't block. After
one or more connections are established, it read non-blocking from the TCP
file descriptor(s) and when a char is available, send it to UPS and
readline(), then send the buffer (terminated with '\n' to the TCP client
over the connection file descriptor.
You can note that I have protected apcupsd UPS monitoring from TCP
servicing by doing only non-blocking calls to the TCP layer, so there
should be no problem for it in detecting power problems without delay
caused by TCP connections.
A patch is enclosed for v/s == BKpro and for TCP servicing.
Of course this patch is still very preliminar, but I think it is a good
idea.
You can try the idea running the apcupsd with this patch applied,
telnetting to the port 6669 from localhost (no external connections
allowed now for security) and sending to the daemon some commands for the
UPS. The daemon will redirect them to the UPS and send the answer to you.
You can connect more than one client to the daemon (max 64 connections).
Please send me comments about it.
Ciao,
Riccardo.

Made N-th attempt to make use of APC cable #940-0095A "DRAT"
in "dumb mode". Will now try "smart mode".
"DOUBLE DRAT" APC has a new cable #940-0095C.
They just want to make things hard for us........
More Pro Fixes
S.u.S.e work around. This is a major DANGER!!!!
If you call /usr/sbin/apcupsd /dev/apcups killpower,
in a non-power problem situation.
"YOU WILL SCREW YOURSELF" this safe guard is a direct override
of the daemon.
----> apcupsd-2.6.pre5a 36279 Jun 23 16:39 apcupsd.c

----> apcupsd-2.3 21278 May 13 10:11 apcupsd.c
I made a patch to your apcupsd that allows it to be configured for
external commands to run (instead of the built-in wall). This allows me
to set it up to send out a call to my pager when the power fails, among
other things.
Anyway, here it is.

Chris Adams - cadams@ro.com
not public release, yet.
----> apcupsd-2.2 21275 May 8 12:53 apcupsd.c
Fixed psuedo procfs type status file in the /etc directory.
Now works for both SMART and DUMB MODE.
Eric Raymond
Redit of apcupsd.manual.

Jason Orendorf
"After building and installing the daemon & init files I found
out why you #define the term _ANNOY_ME...it is rather annoying
to get 'wall'ed every 3 seconds - though I do think the
feature is important. I made a trivial modification to a few
files to make the time delay ('wall' frequency) configurable
at build time. If you haven't made this change yourself, feel
free to incorporate these changes into your development source
if you think it would be useful to others."
<snip from email>
Eric Raymond
Edited APC_UPSD.README.1ST to apcupsd.manual.
Many thanks.
Finally added psuedo procfs type status file in the /etc directory.
Broken for DUMB MODE
----> apcupsd-2.0 20119 May 2 17:36 apcupsd.c
Name change to help sunsite.unc.edu "keeper" daemon.
Black Cables #940-0024B and #940-0024C are now supported for APC SmartUPS.
They have been tested on an APC SmartUPS SU700/1400RM. I don't know if
it will work on APC BackUPS Pro Series.......
Tested SmartUPS SU700RM with SMNP PowerNet(tm) card and SmartMode i/o
through DB-9 port with 940-0024B and #940-0024C. This means that you
can SMNP manage your SmartUPS with SMNP PowerNet(tm) card. You must have
your own SMNP software..........
Added /proc/apcupsd file for pseudo procfs info.
Deleted announce aka -D_ANNOY_ME, for pseudo procfs info file.
Borrowed a bunch of code for Smart-UPS from Pavel Korensky's apcd.c & apcd.h.
----> Enhanced-APC-UPS v1.9 April 17, 1997
Name change to help sunsite.unc.edu "keeper" daemon.
----> Enhanced_APC_UPS v1.9 Apr 14 15:02 apc_upsd.c
bug found by Tom Kunicki <kunicki@surgery.wisc.edu>
"I still can cause the UPS to shutoff with a power disturbance by
typing 'apc_upsd /dev/apc_ups killpower' before the disturbance." ... "
Maybe you could disable the 'killpower' switch except for when the UPS
is in the condition where it is supposed to be used..."
I have tested my BackUPS cable on the following and it works as designed:
APC BackUPS 400, APC BackUPS 600, and APC SmartUPS SU1400RM.
I have tested APC's cable #940-0020B on the following and it works as designed:
APC BackUPS 400, APC BackUPS 600, and APC SmartUPS SU1400RM.
I have NOT tested a BackUPS Pro, since I don't have one yet.
NOTE: My SmartUPS CABLE has broken code and more likely a broken cable design.
Black Cables #940-0024B and #940-0024C are still in the works but not high
priority, yet.
----> Enhanced_APC_UPS v1.8 Apr 8 00:06 apc_upsd.c
Corrected defines in code for 940-0020B, 940-0023A, and 940-0095A.
-D_SMARTUPS can no longer be define if you select USE_APC=yes
There is no SmartUPS "Smart Mode" support, it has never been available.
I am waiting to hear from APC about pinouts for the following cables
#940-0023A their Unix OS cable and
#940-0095A their Win95OS cable.
If you want to use and APC cable, you must have cable #940-0020B ONLY....
Deleted Enhanced_APC_BackUPS.tar.gz from distribution.
Deleted rc.apc_power, all cables use rc.power.
Not publically released at sunsite.unc.edu
----> Enhanced_APC_UPS v1.7g-fix Apr 3 17:42 Makefile
Error in Makefile, rc.apc_power is for testing APC SmartUPS "black" cable.
All installs should use rc.power only, I forgot to make this change in the
distribution Makefile from the Master Makefile.
----> Enhanced_APC_UPS v1.7g Apr 1 15:31 apc_upsd.c
Possible FULL support for Grey cable APC# 940-0020B for BackUPS only
There still may be a bug like the original Enhanced_APC_BackUPS v1.0,
but has not shown it face yet after FIVE (5) forced power outages.
NO SUPPORT YET: Black cable APC# 940-0024B for SmartUPS & BackUPS PRO only
This is take MUCH longer.......I don't have either SmartUPS & BackUPS PRO to
test with, but can simulate the effect of PIN#8 on a BackUPS 400 and 600.
----> Enhanced_APC_UPS v1.6b Mar 31 22:03 apc_upsd.c
Added USE_APC in CONFIG for using APC cables
Added for using APC cables rc.apc_power

Copied new dowall.c from Sysvinit-2.69.
Added support for SmartUPS (non-Smart Accessories Port).
Fixed the above problem of repeated power failures.
Added cable design for SmartUPS (non-Smart Accessories Port).
----> Enhanced_APC_BackUPS v1.0 Sep 20 01:52 backupsd.c
Known Bug in special power situations. IFF (if and only if) the following
happens will this daemon fail to do its job.
If your power fails long enough to cause "backupsd" to activate and cleanly
shutdown your Linux-Box, and returns later only breifly.
( That is long enough for the UPS to clear the KILL_POWER_BIT and causes )
( your Linux-Box to reboot. But not long enough to recharge you UPS's )
( battery above the low-battery latch state, and power fails again. The )
( daemon cannot currently catch the status change. )
I have never had this happen to me ever, but I can force this to happen
under laboratory test conditions. You can too, but it is not advised.
Your filesystem will say "!@#$%#$*&#$@" and much more to you.
Thanks for the support and use of this daemon.
