It works now, thanks guys. Looks like the key for duplicating the backend, both gmond and gmetad, is different port #s that in no way may conflict, and the -c option for different configuration files.

Each gmetad needs unique ports as well as a separate directory to write rrds to. you can start it with the same -c and -f arguments that gmond supports. 'gmetad -h' will give you more information. There should be an example gmetad.conf in the source code which shows what all the different configurable options are. I think you'll need to change xml_port, interactive_port, and rrd_rootdir. If an unprivileged user is starting the daemon, you'll probably also need to 'setuid off'. > > I also lack permission to create new scripts in /etc/init.d so I have > them running them from elsewhere, I fear I will need to copy and edit > /etc/init.d/functions in order to do this? functions assumes you'll write to directories likd /var/run, and you won't be able to do that as a non-root user. I'm sure you can make it work, but you'll have to hack it a bit. alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
