Hello, I would like to get some information whether it would be possible to use Pygame's Joystick package to process simple signal from UPS to trigger clean shutdown of the Linux machine.
I would like to use 2 buttons from Joystick interface to sense 3 states from UPS: A) AC power OK B) no AC power - using battery C) battery low - shutdown now The program should run as a demon and check every 10 second if the UPS entered B state. Then would monitor every second if UPS reached C state. At this moment daemon should copy files stored in RAMdisk onto HDD and request runging programs to close and finally invoke system shutdown. This architecture would improve my Linux net_router/web_proxy/home_automation/etc. server with simple solution using existing gameport, 2 relays and some cabling, upgrading it to a "smart system". :) Is it difficult to create this piece of software ?
