Summary: check_ups doesn't disconnect cleanly

Initial Comment:
The following Bugreport we got against our debian package:

everytime check_ups connects to my upsd, the following line is left in my syslog:

Sep 11 17:39:09 holly upsd[15381]: Host 127.0.0.1 disconnected (read failure)

What happens is that check_ups drops the connection to upsd as soon as it has queried for a variable. upsd expects 'LOGOUT' before terminating the connection, and happily writes "Client on 127.0.0.1 logged out" to syslog if it sees it.

This is slightly annoying in conjunction with tools like logcheck: While I'm quite happy to ignore the "logged out" line in a upsd-specific rule, the word "failure" triggers a global logcheck rule and notifies me hour for hour.

The attached patch should do away with this problem; check_ups works now fine in my installation.

You can track the bugreport via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387001

Thanks and kind regards, Jan.
