Summary: check_ups - -v parameter not working / needs documentation

Initial Comment:
./check_ups --help
says -v is 

[-v variable]

and 

 -v, --verbose
    Show details for command-line debugging (Nagios may truncate output)

The detailed documentation talks about specifying a variable, so I am guessing the first version is correct.   The information on what the variables are is missing though.

./check_ups -H localhost -u ups1 -T 
UPS OK - Status=Online Utility=113.0V Batt=100.0% Load=59.0% Temp=29.0C|voltage=113000mV;;;0 battery=100%;;;0;100 load=59%;;;0;100 temp=29degC;;;0


# ./check_ups -H localhost -u ups1 -T -v Temp
check_ups: Unrecognized UPS variable - Temp
Usage:check_ups -H host -u ups [-p port] [-v variable] [-w warn_value] [-c crit_value] [-to to_sec] [-T]

# ./check_ups -H localhost -u ups1 -T -v Batt
check_ups: Unrecognized UPS variable - Batt
Usage:check_ups -H host -u ups [-p port] [-v variable] [-w warn_value] [-c crit_value] [-to to_sec] [-T]

# ./check_ups -H localhost -u ups1 -T -v load
check_ups: Unrecognized UPS variable - load
Usage:check_ups -H host -u ups [-p port] [-v variable] [-w warn_value] [-c crit_value] [-to to_sec] [-T]

Hi Ask,

you are right, -v/--verbose is not used, so I commented it out in the
--help screen.
I also added -v/--variable to the --help page in cvs.

The solution to your problem is to use one of these values for -v: LINE,
TEMP, BATTPCT or LOADPCT.

Matthias
