As part of the stuff I do to package ganglia-monitor-core
for the oscar tool suite is alter the /etc/init.d/gmond
start-up script to start the gmond daemon on the head node
based on an environment variable that gets passed down from
the oscar installation wizard. This environment variable
specifies the internal cluster network interface on the
head node of the cluster. I then use a script to add a
"-iblah" to the daemon invocation line in the init script
so it starts on the correct interface on the head node.
One of the things we liked about the ganglia-monitor-core
stuff was that it required no special configuration file.
I was testing the 2.5.0 beta stuff from cvs to see if it
had an effect on the cpu eating thing I wrote about in an
earlier message. I discovered to my dismay that the
"-iblah" command line option to gmond was gone and not
replaced with anything except by having a new config file
in /etc.
Considering how much the code has changed between 2.2,3
(version we are currently using) and the 2.5.0 tree how
much trouble would it be to add the code back in for the
"-iblah" command line option?
