good idea, thanks.  i can't seem to figure out how though.  running the 
program without any arguments produces output that seems to perhaps be 
the beginnings of a png image, which would make sense, but it appears to 
be incomplete.  i've tried a few approaches to passing arguments from 
the shell, but none seem to have an impact on the output.

some additional information - i've since added another smart-ups 1500 
(not xlm), connected via usb to this same server, and it draws the 
voltage graph without incident.
