✨ EVERUPS(8) — the everups driver, bestie edition ✨

okay so. This is the manual page for everups, the NUT driver for Ever UPS models. It lives in section 8 of the manual, which is the "system administration / daemons" section, so you already know it's giving serious business. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

everups — the driver for Ever UPS models. That's it. That's the whole name section. She's simple, she's direct, she ate. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

everups -h

everups -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

So like, two moods. Either you're asking her for help (-h), or you're actually launching her against a UPS (-a with a UPS_NAME), optionally with extra [OPTIONS] trailing behind. ✨

note bestie 📌 — this man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the everups driver. It is NOT the whole story. For all the info about the core driver (the shared machinery every NUT driver uses), you gotta go read nutupsdrv(8). Don't skip it, fr fr. 🫶

👑 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 👑

This driver should recognize the NET *-DPC and AP *-PRO models. If your UPS is one of those, you're in business. 💖

🍓 EXTRA ARGUMENTS 🍓

Okay so here's the tea: this driver does not support any extra settings in ups.conf(5). Like, zero. None. The ups.conf section for this driver is just... the essentials. Nothing extra to sprinkle on top. Don't go inventing options, she won't read them. 💀

🙈 BUGS 🙈

Not me having to tell you this, but — this UPS can only switch off the load if it's running on battery. Read that again. 👀

That means you may be vulnerable to power races if your shutdown scripts don't sleep and force a reboot. So if your shutdown script just barrels ahead with no sleep and slams a reboot, that's a whole mess waiting to happen. Let your scripts breathe, okay? 😭
