DUMBUPSD
========

Daemon to watch the line of a dumb UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
and call scripts to shut down the system or do anything.

Sorry, no real README yet, but the man page is quite good I think.


To compile the source, type ``make''.

To install the files, type ``make install'' as root.
Binaries are installed under /sbin and /bin.  I think these programs can
be used in init scripts, so I wouldn't install them under /usr.

NOTE that you have to write the /sbin/init.d/power script in order to
use dumbupsd.  An example script is included, but that's UNDER
DEVELPOMENT and is NOT REALLY TESTED.  (Maybe doesn't work at all.)
It just gives you an idea how to change to runlevel 4 when power is out.
There's nothing here about the runlevel-changing scripts or links.

If you write nice shutdown scripts and send them to me, I'll include
them in the next version.
