\fBupslog\fR is a daemon that will poll a UPS at periodic intervals, fetch the variables that interest you, format them, and write them to a file\&.

The default format string includes variables that are supported by many common UPS models\&. See the description below to make your own\&.

If you require tighter timing, you should write your own logger using the

The interval value is merely the number given to \fBsleep\fR(3) after running through the format string\&. Therefore, a query will actually take slightly longer than the interval, depending on the speed of your system\&.

\fBupslog\fR writes its PID to upslog\&.pid, and will reopen the log file if you send it a SIGHUP\&. This allows it to keep running when the log is rotated by an external program\&.
