✨ RHINO ✨

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is the rhino driver from the NUT Manual — the whole entire vibe is that it's a driver for Brazilian Microsol RHINO UPS equipment. That's it. That's the job. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's how you call it, fr fr:

rhino -h
rhino -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]
💡 Note — this man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the rhino driver. If you wanna know about the core driver itself, go read nutupsdrv(8). That's a whole different page, iykyk.

🎀 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 🎀

This driver has been tested with these icons only, no cap:

  • Rhino 6000 VA
  • Rhino 7500 VA
  • Rhino 10000 VA
  • Rhino 20000 VA

And the tea on all of them: every single Rhino model is sinusoidal on-line. Slay. ⚡

💖 EXTRA ARGUMENTS 💖

This driver supports the following extra optional settings in ups.conf(5) — so like, extra little knobs you can turn, you're welcome:

  • battext=n — Default = 0, meaning no extra battery. Here n = Ampere*hour. So if you got extra battery energy to declare, this is the spot. 🍓

👑 COMMANDS 👑

These are the commands, and yes each one does exactly one dramatic thing:

  • load.on — Turn on the load immediately. Not later. Immediately. ⚡
  • load.off — Turn off the load immediately. Same energy, opposite direction. 💀
  • bypass.start — Put the UPS in bypass mode. 🌀
  • bypass.stop — Put the UPS out of bypass mode. Back to normal bestie. 🌈
  • shutdown.stayoff — Shut down in 3 minutes and do not return. It's giving final goodbye, no comeback arc. 😭
