Description

Ups_control.py is a Python script witch monitors your ups, using upsd from NUT project. Ups_control.py is made during free time and is under GNU General Public License.

Ups_control2 is a rewrite of ups_control in C. Planed for December 2004.

Features

Ups_control.py can only monitors a generic ups for the moment. It scans your ups status every 15 sec and more when power is down, sends an e-mail with some information when state changes and executes the command you want to shut down the machine.

ToDo

• more information about ups when it's possible (manage more drivers)
• better e-mail statistics
• cmd shutdown may be a executable file or a true command
• send an e-mail after the first minute of power interruption

Changes

In 1.7.1 : just a

'make install'

In 1.7 : bugfix ups name problems, better (smaller) log file, catch signals and the new --stop option : now you can make a script in your /etc/init.d or /etc/rc*.d to start, stop ups_control as a true daemon !

In 1.6 : Ups_control scans upsd every 15 secondes and every 5 seconds when power is down. The new -h option allows to scan a distant ups. Few bugfixes.

If you want to start ups_control at boot, you should see this script : ups_control.

># cp ups_control /etc/init.d
># cd /etc/init.d ; chmod 700 ups_control
