Hi, I have just updated my applience to OPNsense 24.7.2 and noticed the red square / not running of APCUPSD. pressing the start or doing start in the plugin menu using - Enabled check, does not help.

in the log I see this error:

delete /var/spool/lock or the contents and subdirs of said folder, i forget which one it was and restart service, thats what ive done when getting lock errors and it works. I updated to 24.7.2 and my APCUPSD is working normally

Thanks for the fast reply. I just removed the file and restarted APCUPSD and it works like a charm!
Thanks for that.
