Good. At least we know it is something recent...

All of the above is a waste of effort. Commands and variables that are  
not reported as supported by the driver, won't make it past the  
server. Please have a look at the man pages for upscmd and upsrw on  
how to make them report the list of supported variables.

Fire up the driver directly (*not* through upsdrvctl) and add -DDDDD  
to the startup command line, something along the lines of

     /path/to/apcsmart -a su900i -DDDDD

This will run until you kill it with Ctrl-C. Please post the first 15  
seconds worth of output here.

Best regards, Arjen
