[Nut-upsuser] Just to monitor an UPS

[Doug Parsons]

Another option that could be used is an Ethernet to Serial converter. It 
creates virtual devices that acts just like serial ports but can be 
connected to ups units located anywhere on the network. My application is to 
use them for ups units on switches and having one server talk to all the ups 
units and then the individual servers talk to the one server. The units run 
$100-200 so not an option for some.

Just wanted to toss out the idea.

You only need to run the driver on the computer with the physical
connection to the UPS.

If you just want to manually monitor the UPS, you can use 'upsc
name-of-ups at nut-srv'. For automatic shutdown, you probably want to
check the documentation.
