It depends on your philosophy, I definitely don't want to start a flamewar on this. Some people/admins like to have text config files and a good manpage instead of a full-blown GUI. Most UPS makers supported by NUT will also give you their proprietary GUI client but for a limited subset of operating systems. Most NAS boxes from Synology or QNAP provide a GUI to configure NUT as a UPS client, for Windows there is also a port, other Linux/BSD can have a GUI too.

NUT is GPL licensed and thus a derived app would be too - at the current state it's very unlikely Apple would accept a GPL-licensed tool in their app store. - Same applies to the MS Win Phone. (You'd need to write a other-licensed NUT client from scratch) I'm just curious why you'd want to shutdown an iOS device hooked up on a UPS since all devices I know running iOS are definitely consumer devices where I don't see a real use for UPS. -- Mat _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
