TRIPPLITE(8)

💖 TRIPPLITE 💖

okay bestie, so this is the tripplite page from the NUT Manual (that's section 8, the system-admin-y one, iykyk) — and it's literally just the driver for Tripp-Lite SmartPro UPS equipment. yes. we love a niche. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

tripplite — the driver for Tripp-Lite SmartPro UPS equipment. that's it, that's the whole job. she's focused. she's employed. periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tripplite -h

tripplite -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

so like, either you're asking for help with -h, or you're actually running it with -a UPS_NAME plus whatever [OPTIONS] you wanna toss in. simple as. 🌸

heads up, bestie: this man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the tripplite driver. for the core driver deets, go read nutupsdrv(8). that's where the main-character lore lives 👑

---

🔌 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 🔌

This driver should work on the SmartPro line, including the SMART700 and SMART700SER.

and okay, important vibe check: it only supports SmartPro models that communicate using the serial port. if your UPS is doing USB-core communication? wrong driver, babe, go find your actual match 🙈

---

🎀 EXTRA ARGUMENTS 🎀

This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5):

• offdelay=num — how long to wait before the UPS is turned off after the kill power command is sent. the default is 64 (in seconds). so it's giving "i said what i said, now wait 64 seconds" 💅
• rebootdelay=num — sets the timer before the UPS is cycled after the reboot command is sent. the default is 64 (in seconds). same energy, different command 🌀
• startdelay=num — sets the time that the UPS waits before it turns itself back on after a reboot command. the default is 60 (in seconds). not me being almost the same number as the others, love that for her 💀

😭 KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS 😭

Battery charge information may not be correct for all UPSes. it is tuned to be correct for a SMART700SER. other models may not provide correct information.

Information from the manufacturer would be helpful.

like. genuinely. please. somebody call Tripp-Lite 😭🙏 we're doing our best out here with vibes alone.
