DETECTUPS(8)DETECTUPS(8)NAMEdetectups - UPS detection/powerd configuration generator
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/detectups [tty]
DESCRIPTIONdetectups monitors the serial port connected to an UPS device and will
attempt to determine the method of UPS notification of power outage. It
will ask you to remove the power cord from the wall to the UPS, or push
the UPS's test button. It will then determine what all has happened and
ask to generate a config file based on your UPS and cable configura‐
tion. detectups needs to watch a tty with modem control properties.
Please refer to the powerd documentation for further information.
