Nut upsdev - Mar 2007 - Request for comments/testing: upsc_list branch

I finally got some time to implement a pair of options to upsc for
listing all configured UPSes on a given upsd:

http://boxster.ghz.cc/projects/nut/changeset?new=branches%2Fupsc_list%2Fclients%2Fupsc.c%40859&old=trunk%2Fclients%2Fupsc.c%40821

http://boxster.ghz.cc/projects/nut/browser/branches/upsc_list/clients/upsc.c?rev=859

I think this should work with the new functions for parsing IPv6
addresses, but I haven't set up any IPv6 hosts yet.

I will fix the man page if there is consensus that this is the way to
implement this functionality. For now, just run "upsc" without any
arguments, and check the second syntax in the usage message.

Let me know how it works for you.

Sounds good. I will finish the man page tonight.

Actually, I think I might reverse the order of the two syntaxes in
help() (and the man page), since it makes more sense to me to list
UPSes on a host first, then list variables on an UPS. That's the order
that a script writer would be using the different syntaxes, anyway.

nice, this fixes a good bunch of upsc lacks.
you should just complete the help msg for the 2nd form to mention that
hostname is also optional, and defaults to localhost if omitted. along
with the manpage update.
