Dear NUT users and contributors, The first round on the new NUT website is mostly done: http://new.networkupstools.org The general layout has changed a bit to overcome some navigation issues. The Hardware Compatibility List is also finalized, using actual data and providing a static version for browser without JavaScript. There are still a few things remaining, and most of all the conversion of the Protocols and Cables libraries. But for the moment, these will simply point the current resources, through the old.networkupstools.org pointer. The User Manual and Developer / Packager Guides will also continue to see progress in the meantime, but will probably get separated from the website (ie these won't use the website look and feel). I now wish to push this new website soon on www.networkupstools.org. This will allow me to relaunch a few actions, like the (overdue) Wikipedia NUT article, and the FSF / Unesco software directory registration. So, your testing and feedback is welcome to finalize this step. Current testing have been done using: FireFox 3.5, Chrome 4, IE6, 7 and 8. One more thank to Sebastien Volle, from Eaton, who has put a lot of sweat and love into this. cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/

I read my mail with alpine which uses the text browser w3m to present web pages. The site is readable with w3m, except for http://new.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html where the colour coding is not available. Would it be possible to have a 1-character column which says 1/2/3/4/5 for each UPS? It would also help people who have to use text-to-speech browsers. Thanks, Roger

In almost all drivers, the pollinterval parameter determines how often the UPS status is updated. If you increase the time between polls by increasing pollinterval, the latency for updates will increase. You may miss critical events on the UPS and worse, may be informed about the low battery status too late (if at all). Whether or not this affects your systems depends on the remaining runtime on battery when the low battery alarm is raised. You might increase the pollinterval to the remaining runtime when the battery low warning is raised by the UPS minus the time it takes to shutdown the systems that are attached to it. To be on the safe side, you should divide this by three to allow for a couple of failed status polls. Best regards, Arjen -- Please keep list traffic on the list
