Install APC UPS daemon

Apcupsd can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines. During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates.
