|

\fBupslog\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR]
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
\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\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The default format string includes variables that are supported by many common UPS models\&. See the description below to make your own\&.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fB\-h\fR

.RE
|

\fB\-f\fR \fIformat\fR
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Monitor the UPS using this format string\&. Be sure to enclose
|
|
\fIformat\fR
|
|
in quotes so your shell doesn\(cqt split it up\&. Valid escapes within this string are:
|
|
.PP
|
|
%%
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Insert a single "%"
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
%TIME format%
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Insert the time with strftime formatting
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
%ETIME%
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Insert the number of seconds, ala time_t\&. This is now a 10 digit number\&.
|
|
.RE

%HOST%
|

insert the local hostname
|
|
.RE

insert the host of the UPS being monitored
|

insert the pid of upslog
|

The default format string is:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\
|

|

.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
%TIME @Y@m@d @H@M@S% %VAR battery\&.charge% %VAR input\&.voltage%

.RE
|
|
.\}
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fB\-i\fR \fIinterval\fR
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Wait this many seconds between polls\&. This defaults to 30 seconds\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If you require tighter timing, you should write your own logger using the
|
|
\fBupsclient\fR(3)
|
|
library\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fB\-l\fR \fIlogfile\fR
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Store the results in this file\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
You can use "\-" for stdout, but upslog will remain in the foreground\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fB\-s\fR \fIups\fR
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Monitor this UPS\&. The format for this option is
|
|
upsname[@hostname[:port]]\&. The default hostname is "localhost"\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fB\-u\fR \fIusername\fR
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
If started as root, upsmon will
|
|
\fBsetuid\fR(2) to the user id associated with
|
|
\fIusername\fR
|
|
for security\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If
|
|
\fIusername\fR
|
|
is not defined, it will use the value that was compiled into the program\&. This defaults to "nobody", which is less than ideal\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.SH "SERVICE DELAYS"
|
|
.sp
|
|
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\&.
|
|
.SH "LOG ROTATION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
\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\&.
