Details

Description:

From the documentation it should be possible to read logs using apcaccess events command, however in the package it seems its not available. Help only lists the status command to be supported.
http://www.apcupsd.org/manual/manual.html#nis-network-server-protocol

A workaround is to just read the logs from /var/log/apcupsd.status

Additional info:
* 3.14.14-6

$ apcaccess events
Unknown command events
Usage: apcaccess [-f <config-file>] [-h <host>[:<port>]] [-p <parameter-name>] [-u] [<command>] [<host>[:<port>]]

-f Load default host,port from given conf file (default: /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf)
-h Connect to host and port (supercedes conf file)
-p Return only the value of the named parameter rather than all parameters and values
-u Strip unit labels

Supported commands: 'status' (default)
This task depends upon

The documentation you linked sounds like this might be just a possible command via the network socket, but it does not say that the apcaccess client would support this command. This does not sound like a packaging issue to me so I'd suggest that you contact the apcupsd developers about this. I don't see anything I could do here, sorry.
