As a CGI program, this should be invoked through your web server\&. If you run it from the command line, it will either complain about unauthorized access or spew a bunch of HTML at you\&.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBupsstats\&.cgi\fR uses template files to build web pages containing status information from UPS hardware\&. It can repeat sections of those template files to monitor several UPSes simultaneously, or focus on a single UPS\&.
.sp
These templates can also include references to \fBupsimage.cgi\fR(8) for graphical displays of battery charge levels, voltage readings, and the UPS load\&.
.SH "ACCESS CONTROL"
.sp
upsstats will only talk to \fBupsd\fR(8) servers that have been defined in your \fBhosts.conf\fR(5)\&. If it complains that "Access to that host is not authorized", check that file first\&.
.SH "TEMPLATES"
.sp
The web page that is displayed is actually a template containing commands to upsstats which are replaced by status information\&. The default file used for the overview is upsstats\&.html\&.
.sp
When monitoring a single UPS, the file displayed is upsstats\-single\&.html\&.
.sp
The format of these files, including the possible commands, is documented in \fBupsstats.html\fR(5)\&.
.SH "FILES"
.sp
\fBhosts.conf\fR(5), \fBupsstats.html\fR(5), upsstats\-single\&.html
.SH "SEE ALSO"
