[Nut-upsuser] APC Smart UPS at a Mac Mini

[Wolfgang Hottgenroth]

Aha. Not the best solution but it is at least one. Do you know by any chance the default login for an APC UPS? The one I found with google does not work:

keller:~ admin$ upsrw -u apc -p apc -s ups.delay.start="180" ups 
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR ACCESS-DENIED
keller:~ admin$ 

Cheers,
Wolfgang

It's not ideal, but I suspect most recent Macs will shut down in 60 seconds or less.
