On a small UPS knutclient shows the current load, to avoid stupidly plugging in unsuitable devices in the UPS like printers and then blaming the UPS - it has happened ... sigh ... ; it shows input voltage, output voltage and runtime on battery. On a larger UPS it also shows temperature. When in a power cut you're trying to save your work before a shutdown starts, running upsc and reading line by line the output can take longer than glancing at the GUI. Life will carry on without it, but it is nevertheless a convenient gadget to have for some users. Perhaps I should enable the cgi flag and see what web interface this offers, although I can guess it will require a web browser to run on the PC acting as a nut server. Anyone used this? -- Regards, Mick
