Does APC have any plans to offer a new version of PowerChute? Serial Shutdown is all but useless for local, home UPS use. It doesn't even have a tray icon that allows us to check the status of our UPS units, or to let us know that it is actually even running!

When PowerChute Serial Shutdown is installed, the installer puts a shortcut on the desktop and puts an entry in the start menu.
To see if the application is running right, click in the task bar and select Task Manager.
From within the Task Manager, select Services, and you will see APCPBEAgent. It should be set to Running.
