APCUPSD-UPS(8)
==============
NAME
----
apcupsd-ups - Driver for apcupsd client access
NOTE
----
This man page only documents the specific features of the
*apcupsd-ups* driver. For information about the core driver, see
linkman:nutupsdrv[8].
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This driver is a client to *apcupsd*.
*apcupsd-ups* acts as an *apcupsd* client, simply forwarding data.
This can be useful in cases where both protocols are required in a network,
or in case apcupsd has a required UPS access mode missing from NUT.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
---------------
This driver supports the following optional settings in linkman:nut.conf[5]:
*port*=<hostname>[:<port>]::
This is the name of a remote host running apcupsd (plus an optional port).
For instance:
[apcupsd]
driver = apcupsd-ups
port = localhost
desc = "apcupsd client"
BACKGROUND
----------
This driver was originally written in one evening to allow interworking with *apcupsd*.
SUPPORTED VARIABLES
-------------------
The following variables are translated from *apcupsd* to NUT. All times should be
converted to seconds (please file a bug if you notice a mismatch in units).

|===============================
LIMITATIONS
-----------
Access to *apcupsd* is strictly read only: no commands can be issued. This
stems from the design of *apcupsd*, where the settings are changed in
*apctest*. In order to run *apctest*, *apcupsd* must be stopped (and *apcupsd*
exposes the UPS to the network).
