Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
WMNUT monitors UPS statistics through the NUT (Network UPS Tools,
<www.exploits.org/nut>) framework on Linux and other systems.
This information, presented in a nice visual format, can be
invaluable on stations using an UPS.

WMNUT compiles successfully on 2.4.x kernels, using libc6 (glibc2),
and NUT-0.45.4.

WMNUT should also compiles without problems on older 2.0.x and 2.2.x
kernels using libc5, on FreeBSD / OpenBSD / Solaris / Cygwin and with
previous release of NUT.

WMNUT currently provides :

        * 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 item).
