Description: monitor UPS status for Best Patriot power supplies
bpowerd is used to monitor a serial port for the status of
a Best Patriot power supply. It runs as a daemon and
sends status information to the system log. bpowerd can
detect powerfail, battery-low, and power-restore condi-
tions. The status is communicated to init via
/dev/initctl. bpowerd can also send a signal to the power
supply's inverter by using the -k switch.
