Hints for WMNUT Generic -------------------------------------------------------------- WMNUT supports 12 commandline options: -A Send messages to users terminals when Low and critical. T1 is seconds between messages when Low. T2 is seconds between messages when Critical. -b Blink rate for red LED. (0 for no blinking.) -B Beep at Critical Level with Volume (between -100% to 100%). -C Define level at which red LED turns on (CriticalLevel). -d Use alternate display. -h Display this help screen. -l Use a low-color pixmap to conserve colors on 8-bit displays. -L Define level at which yellow LED turns on. CriticalLevel takes precedence if LowLevel < CriticalLevel. -U Define upsname ([upsname@]hostname, default is localhost) -v Print version (includes important WMNUT info). -V Verbose mode : display NUT available features and base value. -w Windowed mode (opposite to native Window Maker withdrawn mode). WindowMaker -------------------------------------------------------------- WindowMaker users simply drag and drop the WMNUT dock.app on the WindowMaker Dock (preferred) or on the Fiend and select 'autolaunch' from the rightmouse button popupmenu. Afterstep -------------------------------------------------------------- Afterstep users put the following in their .steprc "Wharf wmnut - MaxSwallow "wmnut" wmnut &". Note: AfterStep's Wharf has a problem with pixmaps that are larger than 60x60 pixels. Please tell the AfterStep authors to fix this, this is not our fault, but a Wharf problem! Other WindowManagers -------------------------------------------------------------- For other windowmanagers, WMNUT runs nicely as a 64x64 shaped icon on your desktop. Note that by default, background will be transparent. Use "wmnut -w" to run WMNut in windowed mode, and enable window background. Last tip for windowed mode, you may enable a foreground/first layer (or whatever the option name is) option, according to your window manager, to always have WMNut visible.
