March 30, 201412 yr I had installed the APCUPSD daemon via unMenu initially, but have now got it being installed via the plugin. I see it in the Dynamix GUI and can get status and all that, but the GUI (Dynamix) doesn't actually allow me to change the configuration. It just doesn't allow me to edit anything. Why? Failing that I would just modify the config file, but for the life of me I can't figure out where I can do that and it NOT be overwritten. Can someone help me out here on either of these? One last thing, I've attached my syslog for someone to have a look at to make sure everything is working the way it's supposed to. I can see the plugin getting installed, but then it's doing or did something with an old version of the powerdown script. I have no idea if this is normal or not. Thanks in advance. syslog-20140330-115414.txt
March 30, 201412 yr Author I posted this on the APCUPSD main thread as well, but I can't seem to remove this post. Sorry about that.
March 30, 201412 yr Author Not sure why I had to do it this way, but I managed to get the settings changed by editing /boot/config/plugins/apcupsd.cfg, refreshing the GUI page, and hitting apply. Now I only hope these settings actually stick on reboot. Still would like to know why I can't update the settings via the GUI though.

Once the settings are changed, you re-start the daemon.
