Nut upsuser - Jun 2012 - Announce: VMware NUT client for ESXI 5.0

Dear NUT users,

I recently came across an interesting effort to integrate NUT with WMware
ESXI, made by Ren? Garcia.

This is still rough and young, but already providing a good support:

We will work jointly in the coming months, Ren?, Aur?lien (from Eaton) and
myself, with the support from Eaton (which is a VMware partner), to improve
this integration and deliver the best user experience for power management
with VMware / vSphere.

If you're interested in helping one way or another, please stand up.

cheers,
Arnaud

Don't know if this counts as "help" but since I've got a
5.0ESXi (free
versio, the vSphere Hypervisor) system , I'd be definitely interested in 
testing this out, provided that the package works also on the free 
vShpere Hypervisor.

I do not speak French, but I can see that the package seems to rely on 
having vCenter available; I don't since this is a free vmware offering. 
I do have VMWare vSphere client installed though, can I accomplish 
configuration with it (not a esxi expert here)?
