APC UPS

[Gavin David]

  Install apcupsd via yum - it supports USB. Set the following values  
in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf:

UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE


  The DEVICE setting has to be blank - the comments in the conf file  
mention this. I have several of these UPSes that are monitored this way.
