i have the first working C version of gmetad and i'd like you to test it when you get a chance. working on this beast has consumed me lately which is why i haven't contributed much to the ongoing discussions of g3.
to try it out... run "cvs update -P" for the monitor-core to get the latest source then # ./configure --with-gmetad # make # make install gmetad is installed in /usr/sbin/gmetad. it needs to read /etc/gmetad.conf (the location can be changed on the commandline). i've included a sample gmetad.conf in the CVS tree.. so use it as a template. you will also need to check out the latest CVS for gmetad-webfrontend. the only file updated is "graph.php". please let me know what you find on non-linux platforms. i suspect it will work but i'm suspicious of my suspicions. let release this bad boy next week! -matt
