NAME

upsct - example UPS client using TCP sockets

SYNOPSIS

upsct ups

DESCRIPTION

upsct retrieves UPS data just like upsc(8), but it uses TCP instead of UDP. This makes it possible to use it in situations where the link between the client and the server is less than ideal.

It can also be used inside shell scripts and other programs that need UPS data but don't want to include the full interface.

OPTIONS

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

DIAGNOSTICS

upsct 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.
