DETECTUPS(8)							  DETECTUPS(8)

NAME
       detectups - UPS detection/powerd configuration generator

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/detectups [tty]

DESCRIPTION
       detectups  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.

ARGUMENTS

       device, and does not share an interrupt with  any  other	 serial	 port.
