Will the software work under linux/wine? null

I don't know if Powerchute would work under WINE and I wouldn't bother trying -- just set up native Linux software like apcupsd, which works fine and is more flexible, even if there's no pretty desktop application for a user interface. I've used apcupsd with various APC UPSes, using both serial and USB interfaces, for years. It works well.

Thank you for inquiry. Unfortunately our PowerChute software will not work on Linux/Wine. However you should be able to use the build in energy saving features of the system to provide a graceful shutdown of the system. Please do not hesitate to contact an APCbySchneider support team if you need any further assistance. We offer email and chat services through our support site and you may also contact us directly at 800-800-4272 option 4.
