Hi,

Does anyone know of any UPS software for BSD? Nothing smart (e.g. 
SmartUPs and Powerchute), just a 'powerd' that looks for changes in the 
line state of the connected ups (serial line state of the connected ups).
I've found a number of packages for linux but nothing for FreeBSD. 
I can't be the only one with a 'dumb' UPS -). 

Thanks,

Chris
