UPS monitoring for Linux via Python: ups_control

hacks, open source, education

If you, like me, run a Linux box on a UPS and have to use the largely featureless genericups driver that ships with NUT, have no fear... Python is here.

Guillaume Savary has written a pretty sophisticated python application, ups_control, that monitors your UPS and then emails you when it has an on-battery or low-battery event. In the latter case or when it's been on battery for too long, it also shuts your system down after sending you a friendly email.

Note: on our FC4 system, we had to change gprintf in the ups_control file to printf before it would work. I guess I should write a patch that handles that, right? Sure thing... (this is a patch to the ups_control Makefile):

A quick 

patch < ups_control-gprintf.1.7.1.patch.txt

in the unpacked ups_control directory should do it (do this before you run make install).

And a few words about the structure of the eye . Everyone " retina ". Especially often we hear it buy clomid online in the phrase " retinal detachment ." So what is the retina ? This - the front edge of the brain, the most distant from the brain part of the visual analyzer. The retina receives light first , processes and transforms light energy into irritation - a signal that encodes all the information about what the eye sees . The retina is very complex and in their structure and function . Its structure resembles the structure of the cerebral cortex. The shell of the retina is very thin - about 0.14 mm.
