#115 check_ups causes nut logging (read failure)

[David Davidov]

Software involved in the problem:
check_ups (nagios-plugins 1.4.2) 1.27
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.2

The nut log after nagios checks ups looks like this:

Dec 22 12:51:33 myhost upsd[14020]: Connection from
192.168.13.13
Dec 22 12:51:33 myhost upsd[14020]: Host 192.168.13.13

disconnected (read failure)

There is an error message per every variable check_ups
retrieved.

The upsd does not like the tcp connection to be closed
without logout. That causes the error output.

I wrote a patch resolving that problem and I am going
to send it just now.
