You didn't mention if you tried the bpowerd Debian package. Package: bpowerd Priority: extra Section: admin Installed-Size: 37 Maintainer: Mitch Blevins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.2-1 Provides: ups-monitor Depends: sysvinit (>= 2.69), libc6 (>= 2.0.7u) Conflicts: ups-monitor Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/admin/bpowerd_2.2-1.deb Size: 11992 MD5sum: 7fd176f6f425f68e8dab71aad3da3f05 Description: monitor UPS status for Best Patriot power supplies bpowerd is used to monitor a serial port for the status of a Best Patriot power supply. It runs as a daemon and sends status information to the system log. bpowerd can detect powerfail, battery-low, and power-restore condi- tions. The status is communicated to init via /dev/initctl. bpowerd can also send a signal to the power supply's inverter by using the -k switch. -- Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
