GAMATRONIC(8)

πŸ’– GAMATRONIC πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is the gamatronic driver, and it lives in the NUT Manual (section 8, system administration, iykyk). It's the little guy that talks to Gamatronic UPS equipment. Yes, UPS like uninterruptible power supply, not the delivery service. Although honestly both show up unannounced. πŸ™ˆ


✨ NAME ✨

gamatronic β€” the driver for Gamatronic UPS equipment. That's it, that's the whole job. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Two moods, and only two moods:

gamatronic -h
gamatronic -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]
Note, and this one matters fr fr: this man page only spills the tea on the hardware-specific bits of the gamatronic driver. Anything about the core driver? That's a whole different page, go read nutupsdrv(8). Don't come for me, I'm just the messenger. 😭

πŸ¦‹ SUPPORTED HARDWARE πŸ¦‹

Various β€” the way that it was rebuilt to work with Gamatronic UPS Units, but it should recognize any UPS that speaks the SEC protocol at 1200-19200 bps. So if your box is out here fluent in SEC, it's basically invited to the party. πŸŽ€


🫢 EXTRA ARGUMENTS 🫢

Not me having to tell you this: this driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5). Zero. None. Don't try it, the config file will just look at you. πŸ’€
