| Monitor an UPS through serial line, tcp port or file Powerd is a daemon process that sits in the background and monitors the state of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Information comes to powerd from the status signals of a serial line, from a remote host, or from a fifo. Alternatively, powerd can spawn another process which reports information on stdout. This release of powerd is meant to replace and upgrade the simple powerd-1.1 which comes in the package "SysVInit-2.5" by Miquel van Smoorenburg. |
