WinNUT 2.0.7722, published by Gawindx, is a lightweight Windows client that connects to the open-source Network UPS Tools (NUT) daemon running on a Linux server, allowing local graphical monitoring and graceful shutdown control of any UPS recognized by NUT. Designed for mixed-platform environments where the UPS is physically cabled to a Linux host, the program exposes real-time data—battery charge, runtime, load percentage, input voltage, and event history—through a system-tray interface and optional desktop alerts, so Windows workstations and servers can react to power anomalies even though they share the same protected hardware. Typical use cases include small offices that centralize UPS management on an economical Linux box yet need every Windows desktop to log off before the battery expires, home-lab enthusiasts who run critical VMs on a Linux hypervisor and want their Windows gaming rig to hibernate when mains fail, and edge-site technicians who prefer the familiar Windows notification stack over command-line NUT clients. Because WinNUT implements the full NUT protocol, it supports authentication, multiple UPS names, and configurable thresholds for low-battery or on-battery events, and it can issue native Windows shutdown commands or custom scripts when those thresholds are crossed. The application belongs to the System Utilities / UPS & Power Management category, is offered in a single version (2.0.7722), and keeps memory footprint minimal by relying on the existing NUT service rather than installing its own drivers. WinNUT is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
