Pakket: genpower (1.0.5-2.3)

Monitor UPS and handle line power failures

The express aim of the genpower package is to add additional functionally and a simpler means of configuring UPS monitoring, in a full featured suite that can be configured to work with most UPSs featuring an RS232 monitoring port.

Depending on the UPS, cable, and the manner in which the genpower package is configured, the genpower package provides the following features:

 * Line power sensing
 * Low battery detection
 * Physical cable detection
 * The ability to kill the UPS's inverter

The Debian package has an extra cable description called "apc-pnp" that should support all of the above for the APC Back-UPS Pro, Smart-UPS, and Matrix-UPS systems using the included Windows-95 Plug-and-Play cable!
