Description:

These programs are part of a developing project to monitor the assortment
of UPSes that are found out there in the field. Many models have serial
ports of some kind that allow some form of state checking. This
capability has been harnessed where possible to allow for safe shutdowns,
live status tracking on web pages, and more.

This package includes the client utilities that are required to monitor a
UPS that the client host is powered from - either connected directly via
a serial port (in which case the main nut package needs to be installed on
this machine) or across the network (where another host on the network
monitors the UPS via serial cable and runs the main nut package to allow
clients to see the information).
