    I posted recently about this but I called it by the wrong name and my   
    post was perhaps not as clear as it should have been, so I'll try again.   
    I recently installed ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) and noticed that it correctly   
    identified my American Power Conversion Co. uninterruptible power supply   
    (USB connected) so I did a search in the Synaptic package manager and   
    found some packages meant to be used with my exact unit. I installed 3   
    packages; apcupsd, apcupsd-cgi and apcupsd-doc. From the description of   
    the packages I thought there was a GUI for it, but there is none. Perhaps   
    there's not supposed to be one, but I thought there should be some way to   
    set the parameters for the u.p.s. I have not found any commands to   
    control it via the terminal either. The system still shows extensive   
    information about the unit and its status in the Configuration Editor, so   
    it seems to be recognized and working, but there's no way to set or   
    change the working parameters for it. Anyone know anything about this?   
      
       Thanks,
