Existing users, 
I agree with others it is much easier and better to control in Energy saver System Preference panel.
Better yet buy a Bekin UPS insteall of APC and you get a free control application called Bulldog Plus which perform rings around APC's software.

PowerChute is a complete waste of time & space - rev.emilio
incidentally, the Belkin Bulldog app is pretty crappy, too. the bottom line is that OS X UPS support sucks.Monday, July 24 2006 @ 07:39 PM PDT

I am running 10.4.8 and energy saver works fine with my APC Smart UPS. I found the log produced by Powerchute useful. Perhaps APC should separate the logging facility from the portion of Powerchute provided by energy saver.Saturday, December 02 2006 @ 12:01 PM PST
