UPSDAEMON(8) System Manager's Manual UPSDAEMON(8) NAME upsdaemon -- Simple Program UPS for Unix SYNOPSIS upsdaemon [device] DESCRIPTION The upsdaemon is a simple program to monitor os (UPS) series APC-Pro. When the power fail, the UpsDaemon it effects shutdown the system. To use the upsdaemon you must posses the qualified serial, device in kernel (sio). The device is assumed to be /dev/cuad0 by default. UpsDaemon: The program monitors the serial port, keeys DTR (Data Termi- nal Ready) raised and RTS (Request To Send) lowered. When the upsdae- mon sees the RNG high, runs the upsdaemon-alerts (powerfail warning) and reports failure to syslog. If the power failure continued for 5 minutes (defined), the upsdaemon runs the upsdaemon-alerts (down), re- ports to syslog and makes the UPS to sleep by RTS. The power recovered within 5 minutes, the upsdaemon runs the upsdaemon-alerts (recovery) and continues to monitor the serial port for another powerfilure. In case the batter low is observed, the upsdaemon runs the upsdaemon- alerts (emergency shutdown now) immediately, reports to syslog and makes the UPS to sleep.
