.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
\fBupsc\fR is provided as a quick way to poll the status of a UPS server\&. It can be used inside shell scripts and other programs that need UPS data but don\(cqt want to include the full interface\&.
|

.SH "OPTIONS"

|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-l\fR \fIhost\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
List all UPS names configured at
|
||
|
|
\fIhost\fR, one name per line\&. The hostname defaults to "localhost"\&. You may optionally add a colon and a port number\&.
|
||
|

|
.PP
|

\fB\-L\fR \fIhost\fR
|

|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
As above, list all UPS names configured at
|
||
|
|
\fIhost\fR, including their description provided by the remote upsd(8) from ups\&.conf(5)\&. The hostname defaults to "localhost"\&. You may optionally add a colon and a port number to override the default port\&.

.PP
|
||
|
|
\fIups\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
Display the status of that UPS\&. The format for this option is
|
||
|
|
\fIupsname[@hostname[:port]]\fR\&. The default hostname is "localhost"\&.

.PP
|
||
|
|
\fIvariable\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
Display the value of this variable only\&. By default, upsc retrieves the list of variables from the server and then displays the value for each\&. This may be useful in shell scripts to save an additional pipe into grep\&.

To list all variables on an UPS named "myups" on a host called "mybox", with upsd(8) running on port 1234:

.if n \{\

To list the UPSes configured on this system, along with their descriptions:
|

.if n \{\

To retrieve the status for all UPSes connected to mybox, using Bourne\-shell syntax:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|

|
|
.if n \{\

.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
upsc will either print a list of UPS names, a list of all supported variables and their values on the UPS, or an error message\&. If you receive an error, make sure you have specified a valid UPS on the command line, that \fBupsd\fR(8) is really running on the other host and that no firewalls are blocking you\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "HISTORY"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Earlier versions of this program used the \fIupsfetch\fR library and UDP sockets to talk to upsd\&. This version of upsc uses the new \fIupsclient\fR library, which only talks TCP\&. This is why \fIupsct\fR no longer exists\&.
