[ale] UPS software

[Nathan J. Underwood]

Powerchute has linux based software to monitor their UPS's (not sure if it will
work with other UPS's), and I believe that there was a package on Freshmeat a
couple of years ago (forgive me, but the name escapes me at the moment).  I used
it for 13 Linux boxes scattered across 6 UPS's, and it worked very well.  If I
can think of the name (of if I get a chance to look for it on FM), I'll post it.
 Maybe someone will beat me to it.
