FreeBSD and APCUPSD 3.10.6

[Lewis Watson]

I have successfully used apcupsd 3.8.x and FreeBSD for several months. I
recently upgraded to 3.10.6 and now am having much trouble. It starts with
the new .sh init script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

I get a prefix not found error. I had a copy of the old .sh file and it
starts apcupsd successfully; which gets logged to syslog and the
apcupsd.events file. To test the program I unplug the ups from the serial
port and syslog shows that communication with the unit has been lost; yet
it no longer is wall'd to the terminals and any attempt to plug the unit
back in goes unnoticed.

The funny thing is once I run a ./apcupsd.sh stop it then walls that
communication were lost with UPS_BERT as it also does a signal 11 core
dump.

Please bear in mind that this was working fine until I upgraded. I would
appreciate any help that could be provided. I did email the port
maintainer who suggested I read the FreeBSD doc's ( I have read the
handbook and Absolute FreeBSD and many wonderful articles but there is no
mention of this problem nor even apcupsd).

If anyone could please point me in a good direction I would greatly
appreciate it. I am going to try and rebuild apcupsd with my own
./configure parameters.
Thanks,
Lewis
