|You need upsrw: http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsrw.html

|Unlike upsc, you will also need to define a NUT user/password pair in
|upsd.users which has permissions to write variables ("actions = set"):

Thanks for the quick reply.  That man page looks like all I need.

If I may suggest that a quick reference to the upsrw man page be placed
somewhere on the 

 http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s08.html#_n
ut_outlet_data_collection

page because "[t]his chapter introduces how to manage outlets in
general, and how to take advantage of the provided features."  Such a
reference would have been very helpful.


Thanks again for the assist.

Mike.
