NAME

       detectups - UPS detection/powerd configuration generator

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/detectups [tty]

DESCRIPTION

       detectups monitors the serial port connected to an UPS device and will attempt to determine the method of UPS notification of power outage.
       It will ask you to remove the power cord from the wall to the UPS, or push the UPS's test button. It will then determine what all has  hap-
       pened and ask to generate a config file based on your UPS and cable configuration.  detectups needs to watch a tty with modem control prop-
       erties.	Please refer to the powerd documentation for further information.

ARGUMENTS

       Serial-Device Some serial port that is not being used by some other device, and does not share an interrupt with  any  other  serial  port.
       /etc/powerd.conf

FILES

       /etc/powerd.conf    powerd configuration file that		      detectups generates
       /etc/inittab	   init is what actually issues the			shutdown

NAME

       powerd - power manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/power/powerd [-n]

       The powerd daemon is started by pmconfig(1M) to monitor system activity and perform an automatic shutdown using the suspend-resume feature.
       When the system is suspended, complete current state is saved on the disk before power is removed.  On  reboot,	the  system  automatically
       starts a resume operation and the system is restored to the same state it was in immediately prior to suspend.

       Immediately prior to system shutdown, the daemon notifies syslogd(1M) of the shutdown, which broadcasts a notification.

       The following option is supported:

       -n	No broadcast mode. The daemon silently shuts down the system without notifying syslogd(1M).
