.SH "NAME"

upsc \- example lightweight UPS client
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBupsc\fR \-l | \-L [\fIhost\fR]
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBupsc\fR \fIups\fR [\fIvariable\fR]
|
|
.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\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.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\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.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"\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.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\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.SH "EXAMPLES"
|
|
.sp
|
|
To list all variables on an UPS named "myups" on a host called "mybox", with upsd(8) running on port 1234:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
$ upsc myups@mybox:1234
|
|
battery\&.charge: 100\&.0
|
|
battery\&.voltage: 13\&.9
|
|
battery\&.voltage\&.nominal: 13\&.6
|
|
\&. \&. \&.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RE
|
|
.\}
|
|
.sp
|
|
To list the UPSes configured on this system, along with their descriptions:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
$ upsc \-L
|
|
apc: Back\-UPS 500
|
|
ppro2: Patriot Pro II
|
|
.fi
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RE
|
|
.\}
|
|
.sp
|
|
To retrieve the status for all UPSes connected to mybox, using Bourne\-shell syntax:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
$ for UPS in `upsc \-l mybox:1234`; do
|
|
upsc $UPS ups\&.status
|
|
done
|
|
.fi
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RE
|
|
.\}
|
|
.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\&.
