APCTEST tool crashes


Recommended Posts

Every few years i have to replace the battery on my UPS, and once that is done, i have to run the APCTEST tool to renew the date of the battery, otherwise the UPS won't charge it.

This works fine under V5, but onder V6 the tool crashes, see log. Why is this, or is there another way to use the APCTEST tool?

  If apcupsd or apctest is already running,

  please stop it and run this program again.
