What about kwrited?

[Yurij]

README.Debian says:
Why kwrited doesn't work
------------------------

Kwrited requires the utempter library to be installed in order to work
(and to have been installed during compilation). utempter is considered a
hack by many Debian developers and consequently it has never been packaged.
Thus until proper utmp/wtmp write support is added, kwrited won't work.

What about the functionality of kwrited in kubuntu?

Anyway, i don't think we even have kwrited anymore, for that very reason (debian doesn't do it as it is considered a security issue)

Thanks for your reply.
How apcupsd informs a user about the UPS status under KDE in Kubuntu?

Re: What about kwrited?

I have absolutely no idea, never have had much dealings with UPS's, probably use whatever Ubuntu would use would work, but look at this:
