Package nut: Information

These programs are part of a developing project to monitor the assortment
of UPSes that are found out there in the field.  Many models have serial
serial ports of some kind that allow some form of state checking.  This
capability has been harnessed where possible to allow for safe shutdowns,
live status tracking on web pages, and more.

This package includes the client utilities that are required to monitor a
UPS that the client host is powered from - either connected directly via
a serial port (in which case the nut-server package needs to be installed on
this machine) or across the network (where another host on the network
monitors the UPS via serial cable and runs the upsd from nut-server package
to allow clients to see the information).
