[cobalt-developers] Re: RaQ3 UPS solutions

Lyle,
It looks as if all I would need is the documentation on /sbin/lcd-write and /sbin/lcd-swrite. At first glance, it appears that by using the new notify functionality I can add status messages to the LCD without having to patch the NUT code. This would be great, since the basic NUT package could be installed without specific Cobalt mods. Much easier to keep updated then. I'll let you know what I find. 

thanks, mike dierker

Sure... is there a particular starting point that you would like.  Most of
the functions I implemented by just doing a system call to /sbin/lcd-write
or /sbin/lcd-swrite.  I could document these or go a little deeper.  What
are you looking for?
