NAME

upsc - example lightweight UPS client

SYNOPSIS

upsc ups

DESCRIPTION

upsc 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't want to include the full interface.

Note that upsc polls via UDP which is fundamentally unreliable and may not function at all over lossy networks. For reliable communications over TCP, see upsct(8).

OPTIONS

ups

Display the status of that UPS. The format for this option is [upsname@?hostnameport?.

For example, upsd__(8)? running on port 1234.

Using an argument like

DIAGNOSTICS

upsc will either print 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 upsd(8) is really running on the other host and that no firewalls are blocking you.

BUGS

UDP connections over many hops tend to break.
