Hi,
I wrote a small utility to stay in Windows tray and indicate NUT UPS device
status and some
properties. The tray icon shows UPS battery status (from green for 100% to red
for 0% and
red-crossed for unconnected state). The tooltip shows UPS manufacturer and model
names, date of
production, UPS status, battery status and voltage, time left when running on
batteries.
Archive containing compiled ready-to-run EXE file and sources:

Command-line usage: UpsTray [ups_name@][nut_server][:port]
ups_name - Name of UPS device on NUT server [default: ups]
nut_server - DNS name or IP address of NUT server [default: localhost]
port - NUT port on server [default: 3493]
To use command line parameters in Windows Explorer, user is needed to create a
shortcut
to UpsTray and set the parameters after program path.
Examples:
UpsTray.exe
Equivalent to: UpsTray ups at localhost:3493
UPS name: ups
server: local Windows machine
port: 3493 (default)
UpsTray.exe my_nut_server
Equivalent to: UpsTray ups at my_nut_server:3493
UPS name: ups
server: my_nut_server
port: 3493 (default)
UpsTray.exe my_ups at 192.168.0.111
Equivalent to: UpsTray my_ups at 192.168.0.111:3493
UPS name: my_ups
server: 192.168.0.111
port: 3493 (default)
UpsTray.exe my_ups at my_nut_server:1234
Equivalent to: UpsTray my_ups at my_nut_server:1234
UPS name: my_ups
server: my_nut_server
port: 1234
The tool is written as compiled AutoIt script
(http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit).
The code is based on WinNUT client source
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/winnutclient).
Now it was tested on two client machines and one Synology linux server only.
Maybe this will help somebody for simple NUT Ups monitoring.

Ilya
