Alternative to Network UPS Tools (NUT)?
by 1MachineElf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5M1YG)
Is there an alternative to Network UPS Tools (NUT) for stand-alone systems?
Unless I read incorrectly, the minimum configuration for upsd [1] for a single system involves upsd listening on the loopback address and configuring a username/password for upsmon. I understand why these features make sense for a network with multiple machines, but I don't think it makes sense for a single system to involve network ports and authentication.
Ideally there is something like NUT but without the network component (a _UT?). Anyone know of something like that?
