This will replace the psuedo procfs file found in /etc directory. apcaccess slave :: Called from a "slave" to tell master that I am leaving the network so skip over me until I return. This is a TCPIP command passed back to the master machine. Called from the "master" to search and try to reconnect a returning "slave" to the network. This feature is functional but is quirky. The quirks are a timing function of reestabishing TCPIP sockets once they have been closed. apcaccess shutdown :: Only called by master to bring down all machines connected to managed UPS over TCPIP. This results in the master machine cycling the UPS power.
