That's exactly what I'd expect to see when the daemon isn't running.

DaveL17 wrote:Success. It was either of two things.
1. I noticed in the docs that if the reinstall was on top of an old one, then apcupsd.conf would be retained and a new file (apcupsd.conf.new) would be created. After a couple of failed reinstall attempts, I deleted apcupsd.conf and renamed apcupsd.conf.new to apcupsd.conf.
2. This iMac has been booting a little slowly for a while now and, instead of entering user credentials immediately after rebooting, I poured myself a libation and then logged in. This may have given the daemon enough time to spool up before the user account tried to connect to it.
Regardless, looks like I'm in business. Thanks for the help.
Now to work on the slow boot issue...![]()

Here's a version that installs the kext in /Library/Extensions instead of /System/Library/Extensions:

That’s just a guess though.
