WMNut

----------------------------------------------------------------------

*Description

WMNut is a program to monitor multiple UPSs statistics through the NUT (Network UPS Tools) framework on Linux and other systems.
It is a dockapp that is supported natively by X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, FluxBox, and Enlightenment.
WMNut will run as a simple 64*64 pixels window in other Window Managers.

WMNut provides multiple UPSs monitoring with:

-Status of power supply (battery or AC Power),
-Communication status with UPS (Red/Green "C"),
-Percentage of battery remaining (numeric and meter),
-Load level percentage on output (numeric, if available),
-Runtime to empty, ie time left to battery depletion (MM:SS),
-High/Low/Critical battery status (Red/Yellow/Green colored meter and battery).


It currently runs under GNU/Linux, but should also runs on FreeBSD / OpenBSD / Solaris / Cygwin / ...

Huge thanks to:

-Russell Kroll for NUT (Network UPS Tools) and a Real Open and wide UPS support,
-Bill Richter, Laszlo Hazy and David Butts for their support in beta test and improvement of WMNut,
-Martijm Pieterse and Antoine Nulle for a great (and somewhat standardised) interface which I used as a template (wmmon.app and wmgeneral),
-Seiichi SATO for Web Design (taken from WMCPULoad website),
-Luca Filipozzi for the Debian packages creation, which I now personaly hold, available at Debian website,
-and last but not least, Linus, Alan, Marcello, Greg... and the whole GNU Community.

*Help

I'm interested in having feedback about how WMNut runs on other platforms (BSD, Solaris, ...) and searching for packagers on those platforms.
If you have nice suggestions, ideas, whatever, that aren't on TODO list, feel free to mail them to me.
Comments and remarks are also welcomed (mail to : Arnaud Quette).

*FAQ

-(How) Does WMNut support multiple UPS monitoring ?

Yes, WMNut can monitor up to 9 UPSs since release 0.1. Take a look at HINTS file and manual page for more details about using this feature.

-Can I set the initial size of WMNut?

No, WMNut is limited to 64*64.

-I'm not running WindowMaker nor AfterStep.
How can I run WMNut in windowed mode (ie not having transparent background !) ?

Try running "wmnut -w". See below for a screenshot.

-I can't compile WMNut ("undefined reference to `upslogx'", "upsfetch.h/o not found" or "upsclient.h/o not found")
or WMNut doesn't work !

There is always lots of improvements in both NUT and WMNut...
To solve your problem, you should upgrade to the most current release of NUT and WMNut, and the problem should disappear.
