Powstatd package available: Configurable UPS monitoring daemon
I have uploaded powstatd_1.3-1_i386.deb to incoming. Since incoming
now has new pacakges that are one month old, I can hope that it will
be processed soon. In the meantime, developers can get it from
incoming for potato. A slink version is available at Powstatd's home:
ftp://dollar.biz.uiowa.edu/pub/segre/powstatd_1.3-0slink1_i386.deb

Description: Configurable UPS monitoring daemon
Assuming you have a relay-based "dumb" UPS that corresponds with your
machine via a serial connection, you should be able to configure
powstatd in just a few minutes. Powstatd is known to run with a
variety of Cyberpower UPS supplies (Power99 325VA, 400VA, 500VA and
720VA, Power2000 1500VA, and some older 385VA and 450VA models) and
various older APC units. Powstatd is easily configured, and can be
expected to support most "dumb" UPS supplies.
.
Powstatd can also be configured to allow a master machine to control
(Via a network connection) up to 2 (by default) additional slave
machines connected to the same UPS. This allows you to run several
machines off the same UPS, with only one of the machines actually
reading the UPS status over the serial line.
