APC Status Widget

Hi,

I have customized your script for my UPS (APC Back-UPS CS 350) and for my native language (german).
See here:
apc_status.widget.php

@fireodo

Thank you for the correction to the code. I was not sure if it was correct or if there was a more correct way to code it. I will check it out on my system. How does it work with loss of communication?

@fireodo

Thank you for the correction to the code.

Its only a adaptation on my personal UPS - the results are diferite depending on the UPS that is utilized (the output of "apcaccess -h 0.0.0.0:3551" vary from UPS to UPS)

I will check it out on my system.

You probably will have to make some corrections. The refresh of the widget is also something that can have some improvements.

How does it work with loss of communication?

No, I couldn't do it here ... sorry!

Now, if you look at the code, you can maybe make modifications to customize the widget for your personal needs ... and perhaps you can also test the "COMMLOST" - scenario.
If you want I can sent you my customized version and you can compare it with the original so you can see where you can make customizations.

@fireodo
I was thinking about customizing it for my tastes. It's a nice piece of code and works great with both scenarios, online and commlost. Yes, if you would like to send me yours, that will be great.......grin

Thanks for sending yours. I changed his original to the info I wanted to see on my firewall. I am going to try and test it today and make sure all aspects of it work. It is obvious after looking at his coding I don’t have a clue what I am doing. I am too old school........grin
