DESCRIPTION
Classic package of Network UPS Tools.
Network UPS Tools is a collection of programs which provide a common
interface for monitoring and administering UPS hardware.
This is the standard installation that uses a layered approach to
connect all of the NUT parts.
Drivers are provided for a wide assortment of equipment. They
understand the specific language of each UPS and map it back to a
compatibility layer. This means both an expensive "smart" protocol UPS
and a simple "power strip" model can be handled transparently.
This information is cached by the network server upsd, which then
answers queries from the clients. upsd contains a number of access
control features to limit the abilities of the clients. Only
authorized hosts may monitor or control your UPS hardware if you wish.
Since the notion of monitoring over the network is built into the
software, you can hang many systems off one large UPS and they will all
shut down together.
Clients such as upsmon check on the status of the hardware and do
things when necessary. The most important task is shutting down the
operating system cleanly before the UPS runs out of power. Other
programs are also provided to log UPS status regularly, monitor status
through your web browser, and more.
Detailed information about supported hardware can be found in
/usr/share/doc/packages/nut.
