A Monitored UPS is a UPS that the ECS0016 is drawing power through.
The purpose of configuring a Monitored UPS is in the event of a power
failure, it provides an opportunity to perform any “last gasp” actions before
power is lost. This is achieved by placing a script in /etc/config/scripts/
ups-shutdown - you may use the /etc/scripts/ups-shutdown as a template.
This script is run when then UPS reaches critical battery status.
