Took my firewall down to clean it up some. Hooked everything back up and now the Apcupsd service won't start, I found a similar issue here (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=34819.0), but I don't see anything in the lock folder so not sure what to delete. Thoughts on how to get this service up and going again?

Figured out my own solution, not sure if it's correct or not. Tried everything even uninstalling/reinstalling the addon to no avail. Everything I read said to remove the lock file in the /var/spool/lock folder, but in my case there was nothing in the folder. So, I finally got frustrated and deleted the entire folder so
rm -r /var/spool/lock then recreated it
mkdir /var/spool/lock then started the service and it fired right up.
