cyberpower

A library and tool to control a CyberPower PDU41001 via SSH. Tested on ePDU Firmware Version 1.2.4.

Why?

• Logging into the web GUI is a pain
• SSH oneliners don't appear to work (it's a janky SSH implementation)
• SNMP and NUT feel too complex for just on/off/cycle/status

Features:

• Will load your password out of your system keyring if you have it stored there (keyring set <host> <user>)
• cyberpower <host> shell command gives you shell access just like an SSH client

Establishing a connection typically takes ~5s on the LAN.
