Hmm, PowerChute for Mac, that's it??? - New.Dad - 03-26-2006
At work IT installed an APC UPS and I looked at the PowerChute (windows version) and I was impressed. It have you a report, details about line voltage, etc.
I just installed PowerChute on my Mac and there is a new control panel, where you have 2 options, but that's it! No reports, no log, nothing. What the heck???

doesn't OS X have something better already installed?

where? I run 10.4.2 on a PowerBook, I should install 10.4.5. but have been dragging for the last few months. You know, ain't broken, don't fix it. And have been very busy anyway.
so is this OS X feature something that showed up after 10.4.2? or it's not installed cause I have a powerbook?

Never-mind, I found it! it shows up only when you connect the UPS. Thanks!

I don't use it, but I remembered that Apple included it. because WE have a decent OS to use.

And if you want a little log action to go along with the built-in UPS management in Panther and Tiger:
