!!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


''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


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.
!!SEE ALSO


upsd(8), upsc(8)
