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.
