PumpStationControl

the command line program PumpStationControl communicates with the PumpStationDaemon by sending commands and receiving and printing the daemon response on the command line. The daemon understands the following commands:

• writeConfig
  write config file.

• setPumpState [int pump] [int state]
  switches on or off a pump. [int pump] can be either 1 or 2, [int state] is either 1 for ON or 0 for OFF.

• getPumpState [int pump]
  returns the state of a pump. [int pump] can be either 1 or 2. The returned value is either 1 if the pump is ON or 0 if it is OFF.

• setPumpOperatingHours [int pump] [double hours]
  Sets the operating hours of a pump. [int pump] can be either 1 or 2, [double hours] is the number of hours the pump has been running. This command can be used to synchronize the operating hours of a pump stored in the daemon config file with the actual value measured by the pump itself.

• getPumpOperatingHours
  returns the operating hours of both pumps in hours separated by a semicolon.

• setValveState [int valve] [int state]
  opens or closes a valve. [int valve] can be either 1, 2 or 3, [int state] is either 1 for OPEN or 0 for CLOSED.

• getValveState [int valve]
  returns the state of a valve. [int valve] can be either 1, 2 or 3. The returned value is either 1 if the valve is OPEN or 0 if it is CLOSED.

• getPressure [int gauge]
