smupsd
monitors an
APC
Smart-UPS[TM] under
Red Hat[TM] Linux. Should power fail, smupsd
will power down the
system and the UPS in an orderly fashion.
smupsd
has the following features:
- Shuts down the system and the UPS based on either remaining UPS
battery charge or elapsed time since power failure.
- UPS parameters can be monitored live from any host with the
graphical monitor program
upsmon
, written in Java[TM].
- UPS parameters can be logged to a file for analysis and
reporting.
- When additional systems share the same UPS, instances of
smupsd
running on these systems can read UPS parameters from
the one running on the system serially connected to the UPS
(master/slave).
- Network access from remote hosts can be controlled via the
/etc/hosts.allow
file.
