Slackware

Slackware systems are fully supported, and by following the standard installation instructions given above,

you should experience few or no problems.

SUSE

SUSE systems are fully supported, and by following the standard installation instructions given above, you

should experience few or no problems.

Sun Solaris

Please read this before attempting to compile or install the beta software. It contains important information

that will make your efforts easier.

Before running './configure', please be sure that you do not have /usr/ucb on your path. This may

cause the configure to choose the wrong shutdown program. If configure detects that /usr/usb is on

your path, it will print a warning message. Please follow the advice to avoid shutdown problems.

Your normal UNIX user ID must own the source tree directories, and you must have the normal

development tools in your path. This includes make, the compiler, the M4 preprocessor, the linker, and ar

or ranlib. If the user you are logged in as can compile and link a C program from a source file, then you

have all the required tools available.

You will want to install the executables in a directory that remains mounted during the shutdown. Solaris

will unmount almost everything except the root directories. Since the ability to power the UPS off requires

access to the executable programs, they need to be in a directory that will never be unmounted. And since

they should also be in a directory that normal users cannot get into, /sbin is the default. However, please

be aware that if you want to follow Sun's filesystem conventions you would use the following:

./configure \

--prefix=/opt/apcupsd \

--sbindir=/etc/opt/apcupsd/sbin \

--sysconfdir=/etc/opt/apcupsd \

--with-cgi-bin=/opt/apcupsd/cgi-bin

The way to setup the /sbin directory as the executables directory is to pass configure the

--sbindir=/sbin option. No other arguments should be required, and your setup and platform should

be detected automatically by configure.

Once you have run configure, you will need to do a 'gmake'. Once the make has completed with no errors,

you must su to root to complete the install. After the su, you may not have a path to the make program

anymore. In that case, you should do the 'gmake install' step as:

gmake install

Once the install completes, you must edit the /sbin/rc0 script as detailed below, then exit from the su'ed

shell.

In order to support unattended operation and shutdown during a power failure, it's important that the UPS

remove power after the shutdown completes. This allows the unattended UPS to reboot the system when

power returns by re-powering the system. Of course, you need autoboot enabled for your system to do

this, but all Solaris systems have this by default. If you have disabled this on your system, please

re-enable it.

To get the UPS to remove power from the system at the correct time during shutdown, i.e., after the disks

have done their final sync, we need to modify a system script. This script is /sbin/rc0.

We do not have access to every version of Solaris, but we believe this file will be almost identical on every

version. Please let us know if this is not true.
