Hi.

This is the second time you've hijacked a thread. Please don't do that
again. It's extremely annoying when one views mailing lists in threaded
mode, not to mention it completely f*cks up the list archives.

There sure is. You'll get more help and a better over-all reception if
you follow the simple rules outlined in
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html though.

I usually do a simple snmpwalk toward the host in question. That usually
gives a lot more human-parseable output than the mibs ever have. Seeing
something such as "UPSBatteryPctCapacity = INTEGER: 100" makes things
quite readable, imo.

For UPS-specific stuff, google might have some answers.

I just gave you some. Now it's your turn to do some work and then
report your findings back here.
