[ale] apcupsd

[James Sumners]

In SuSE, I would recommend using Yast to enable your script. There is
a "Runlevel Editor" in Yast that will make things much easier --
http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/ch13s04.html
. (Note: the bottom of that page mentions an "insserv" tool that could
be used instead of Yast's GUI.)

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
