That would be network UPS tools, get it from http://www.networkupstools.org/ ;-)

Oh, and be sure to get the right UPS, because not all UPSes show the 
information.

I have a guru plug server plus connected to the Microdowell BP500 UPS in the 
attachment, the UPS showing no Battery runtime. The other UPS is a APC 
Smart-UPS 1500 and in my old debian sta(b)le installation running Network UPS 
Tools upsstats 2.0.4 there was no information about battery runtime, but see 
the attachment.
