!!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@]hostname[[:port].


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.
