I'm trying to get apcupsd working with my Cyberpower UPS. It's worked fine with apcupsd in other systems. The UPS shows up fine if I try to add the USB port to a VM as you can see from the attached screenshot but if I try to query the UPS via:

Code:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

I get the following error:

Code:
cat: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory

Is there something I'm missing?

EDIT: I solved my issue with a re-install of apcupsd and changing DEVICE /dev/ttyS0 in the apcupsd.conf file to just DEVICE.
