Well, I am already sick of writing the programm still I do this.
I've got already done:
- apc specific part with comands
- almost everything of configuration (YACC driven)
- asynchronous serial line handling
- software events handling conception (still to be implemented)
The ups daemon is not APC oriented. The conception that there
are registers and triggers. Registers are commands, status registers,
options etc... Triggers are the string which could come any time from
the device (they are handled asyncronously). For example ``Y'' is an
initialize register with R_COMMAND flag set and ``*'' is a trigger
string which means the UPS is being shut down.
Please. If anybody has anything on the UPS daemons or APC send
the materials to me directly. I hope to finish all the things in a month.
