.SH "NAME"
apcupsd-ups \- Driver for apcupsd client access
.SH "NOTE"
.sp
This man page only documents the specific features of the \fBapcupsd\-ups\fR driver\&. For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
This driver is a client to \fBapcupsd\fR\&.
.sp
\fBapcupsd\-ups\fR acts as an \fBapcupsd\fR client, simply forwarding data\&. This can be useful in cases where both protocols are required in a network, or in case apcupsd has a required UPS access mode missing from NUT\&.
.SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS"
.sp
This driver supports the following optional settings in \fBnut.conf\fR(5):
.PP
\fBport\fR=<hostname>[:<port>]
.RS 4
This is the name of a remote host running apcupsd (plus an optional port)\&.
.RE
.sp
For instance:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
[apcupsd]
            driver = apcupsd\-ups
            port = localhost
            desc = "apcupsd client"
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.SH "BACKGROUND"
.sp
This driver was originally written in one evening to allow interworking with \fBapcupsd\fR\&.
.SH "SUPPORTED VARIABLES"
.sp
The following variables are translated from \fBapcupsd\fR to NUT\&. All times should be converted to seconds (please file a bug if you notice a mismatch in units)\&.

.SH "LIMITATIONS"
.sp
Access to \fBapcupsd\fR is strictly read only: no commands can be issued\&. This stems from the design of \fBapcupsd\fR, where the settings are changed in \fBapctest\fR\&. In order to run \fBapctest\fR, \fBapcupsd\fR must be stopped (and \fBapcupsd\fR exposes the UPS to the network)\&.
