1. How do I use it?

	First open lucypher.py and configure the settings. They are constants that begin with CONF_

	Then you can just call it as a program. Under Linux it will daemonize(making it perfectly

	safe to put a call to it in your initialization scripts), under Windows you will have

	to play with Python interpreter to get rid of the console window.

	

2. What platform does it run on?

	- Windows (note that it probably needs Administrator access to access log files

			   if you position them in some weird places)

	- Linux (run under root)

	

3. What modules does it require?

	pySerial

	

4. What is it?

	This is a replacement daemon for software Orvaldi ships with some of it's UPS-es, those

	that require a perverse RS232 cable.

	

	Because the software they ship for Linux does not work, I have made mine version, so that 

	I don't have to shell out cash for a new UPS :)

5. How do I shut it down the daemon?

	It is perfectly safe just to gun it.

	

6. Can I contact you for more info?

	Sure.

	

7. Why root under Linux?

	It's dead simple and I'm pretty sure it won't be used as an attack vector, although exercise caution to

	properly chmod the source file (world readable, owner writable).

	

	Besides, it needs privileges to shutdown -h now
