Tupsmand 0.6.1

Tecnoupman project is a manager/monitor for the UPS Tecnoware Adv. Tecnoware (FIRENZE), only supplies a payment proprietary cable and software.
So, even if the UPS is equipped of RS-232 interface its not possible, without spent a lot of money, to manage the UPS directly from the PC.
Ive tried several times to contact the Tecnoware (firenze), but ive obtained zero support and zero technical infos about the UPSes and the cables pinouts. The cable, in fact, is a non standard one.
USAGE:
After that youve compiled the sources, and connected the UPS to Serial Port, youre ready to use the manager/monitor. Tupsmand is the core of the system. It can monitor and manage the power and the shutdown of the server/ups.
Youve to startup the daemon using a command like:
revolution#tupsmand /etc/tupsmand.conf
after startup, tupsmandll daemonize monitoring all the parameters from the
UPS. All paramters for the startup, must be specified in the config file:
tupsman.conf, like this format:
DEBUGL=1 <-- debug level(1...quite, 9...verbose)
DEVICE=/dev/ttyS1 <-- serial port used for the UPS
FETCHTIME=2 <-- fetching interval for the infos (in secs)
CHECKACTIME=3 <-- check AC line fetching interval (in secs)
SHTDWN_THREAD=4 <-- check for a ShutDown Signal interval (in secs)
SHUTIME=300 <-- UPS Shutdown time, after PowerLoss (in secs)
RESTARTIME=60 <-- Restart Server interval, after PowerBack (in mins)
BURSTNOTICE=600 <-- writing interval for log file (in secs)
HALTIME=240 <-- Server ShutDown interval (in secs)
The systemll write in your log file, using this format:
Aug 26 22:51:22 revolution tupsmand: TUPSMAN:
IVoltage: 227.50, OVoltage: 227.50, Load: 31, OFreq: 49.60, Battery: 13.90(Volts),
Temp: 37, Battery Load: 100%
IVoltage = Input Voltage
OVoltage = Output Voltage
Load = Actual load (in percent)
OFreq = Output Frequency (in Hertz)
Battery = Battery Level (in Volts)
Temp = UPS Temperature (in Celsius)
Battery Load = Actual Battery Load
The program, require root privilege to run.
