wait now. don't just disable selinux. that would be a workaround, not a
solution. besides, there are plenty of us running apcupsd with selinux
enabled with no lock problems. john summerfield wrote a good way of
trying to track the problem down in his previous post. kill apcupsd,
then delete the lock file from the /var/lock/subsys dir and start
apcupsd using the startup script ~#] service apcupsd start
then tell us what happens.
