On a small UPS knutclient shows the current load, to avoid stupidly plugging |
31 |
in unsuitable devices in the UPS like printers and then blaming the UPS - it |
32 |
has happened ... sigh ... ; it shows input voltage, output voltage and |
33 |
runtime on battery. On a larger UPS it also shows temperature. When in a |
34 |
power cut you're trying to save your work before a shutdown starts, running |
35 |
upsc and reading line by line the output can take longer than glancing at the |
36 |
GUI. Life will carry on without it, but it is nevertheless a convenient |
37 |
gadget to have for some users. |

Perhaps I should enable the cgi flag and see what web interface this offers, |
40 |
although I can guess it will require a web browser to run on the PC acting as |
41 |
a nut server. Anyone used this? |
