There is a problem while installing this software under Suse Linux 8.1: At [http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/ganglia_docs/install.html] in section 2.1.1. is described how to install the package from source. Everything works just fine since step 8 ("Start up gmond and make sure it is started at reboot") came up.
First, the directory /etc/rc.d/init.d does not exist under Suse Linux 8.1, so I changed it to /etc/init.d and copied the init script of gmond to this location. Second, I have to set up the gmond startup with the tool from Suse (yast). Changed "runlevel" options to "2", "3" and "5". Ok, fine. Third - and that is the point I can not go further on - is the execution of "/etc/init.d/gmond start". There is always the error message that states /etc/init.d/gmond: line 9: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory There is no "functions" file in Suse's Linux distribution :-(( arrgh... I just took a look how they started the ircd deamon. Maybe it is the same way: [...] . /etc/rc.status # Shell functions sourced from /etc/rc.status: # rc_check check and set local and overall rc status # rc_status check and set local and overall rc status # rc_status -v ditto but be verbose in local rc status # rc_status -v -r ditto and clear the local rc status # rc_failed set local and overall rc status to failed # rc_reset clear local rc status (overall remains) # rc_exit exit appropriate to overall rc status IRCD_BIN=/usr/sbin/ircd # First reset status of this service rc_reset case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting service ircd" [... and so on ...] I guess I have to change the init script of this gmond thing to work in Suse's distribution. But I don't know how to set this up. Can anybody help me? I also tried to install the RPM-file, but the same problem appears... # rpm -Uvh ganglia-monitor-core-2.5.0-1.i386.rpm ganglia-monitor-core ################################################## /etc/rc.d/init.d/gmond: line 9: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: No such file or directory Thanks, Frank -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
