If you run a driver with debugging enabled, it will stay in the  
foreground and log everything to the console. This is by design.

I don't think so. The 'apcsmart' driver isn't actively maintained (at  
least not in the last four years), so unless you're volunteering to  
take up this task, this likely won't change anytime soon. You have it  
running with 'apcupsd' so finding out how this detects this UPS should  
be fairly easy. It can certainly be used with NUT, but this requires  
that someone takes over the task of maintaining this driver.
