Here is a sample output from the included upsc program: host: localhost MODEL: Back-UPS Pro 650 SERIAL: NB0130252271 STATUS: OL UTILITY: 230.4 BATTPCT: 100.0 ACFREQ: 50.00 LOADPCT: 032.5 BATTVOLT: 13.77 OUTVOLT: 230.4 UPSIDENT: UPS_IDEN LOWXFER: 208 HIGHXFER: 253 WAKEDELAY: 000 LINESENS: H GRACEDELAY: 020 RTHRESH: 00 ALRMDEL: 0 BATTDATE: 07/26/01 MFR: APC You can define a message for each of the following events: ONLINE : UPS is back online ONBATT : UPS is on battery LOWBATT : UPS is on battery and has a low battery (is critical) FSD : UPS is being shutdown by the master (FSD =3D "Forced Shutdown") COMMOK : Communications established with the UPS COMMBAD : Communications lost to the UPS SHUTDOWN : The system is being shutdown REPLBATT : The UPS battery is bad and needs to be replaced NOCOMM : A UPS is unavailable (can't be contacted for monitoring) Then for each event you defined you can tell nut what to do. From one of the configuration files: # NOTIFYFLAG - change behavior of upsmon when NOTIFY events occur # # By default, upsmon sends walls (global messages to all logged in users) # and writes to the syslog when things happen. You can change this. # # NOTIFYFLAG <notify type> <flag>[+<flag>][+<flag>] ... # NOTIFYFLAG ONLINE SYSLOG+EXEC NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT SYSLOG+EXEC NOTIFYFLAG LOWBATT SYSLOG+EXEC NOTIFYFLAG SHUTDOWN SYSLOG+EXEC # # Possible values for the flags: # # SYSLOG - Write the message in the syslog # WALL - Write the message to all users on the system # EXEC - Execute NOTIFYCMD (see above) with the message # IGNORE - Don't do anything # # If you use IGNORE, don't use any other flags on the same line. You can write your own program to execute custom actions, for example I have a program that notifies me via SMS when one of the four events ONLINE, ONBA= TT, LOWBATT and SHUTDOWN occurs. You can find nut in the ports collection located at sysutils/nut.
