A program to control the CPS International AC Power Controller under

Linux and other "termios"-type Unix systems.  Allows the status to

be checked, power to be turned on, turned off, cycled (off then on)

and allows for dealing with the watchdog.

COMMENTS

   The terminal line used can be changed by modifing the "modemLine"

   setting at the top of the "powercontrol" file, or by using the

   "-l" or "--line" command-line option.

EXAMPLE USAGE

   To read what the status of the device is, run:

      python powercontrol status

   To reboot the device attached:

      python powercontrol reboot

   To specify what device file to use as /dev/ttyS1:

      python powercontrol -l /dev/ttyS1 status

GETTING STARTED

   Usage:

      usage: powercontrol []  [...]

         [ -l | --line  ]     Serial line device file name.

         [ -v | --version  ]        Display program version.

         [ -h | -? | --help  ]      Display this usage message.

ABOUT CPS IPC HARDWARE

   The "IPC" is a device which can be controlled by an RS-232 port or

   by a ringing telephone (no DTMF, just based on reaching a number of

   rings threshold).  Based on this input it can turn the power to a

   device on or off.  Nice, cheap unit.  http://www.cpscom.com/

   Note that this was developed without cooperation of CPS, and

   that you should not call them seeking support for it.
