you must be hoping there is more to it than the directions in the INSTALL file indicate. really, there isn't. you untar it to the place you want to keep it, install the required perl modules, and that's about it. here's how i set it up on our mon servers: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 2064208 1310104 649248 67% / /dev/sda3 14520240 5741508 8041148 42% /export/home : mon-bd2 /export/home/mon$; ls -l total 48 drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Jan 18 2001 RCS/ drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Jul 27 2001 alert.d/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 trockij mon 12 Sep 8 06:59 cur -> mon-0.99.2-5/ drwxrwsr-x 4 mon mon 4096 Jan 10 09:44 etc/ -r-xr-xr-x 1 mon mon 1919 Jan 18 2001 install* drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Feb 2 04:39 log.d/ drwxrwxr-x 11 mon mon 4096 Jan 18 2001 mon-0.38.21/ drwxrwsr-x 11 mon mon 4096 Jul 23 2001 mon-0.38.22-32/ drwxr-sr-x 11 trockij mon 4096 Aug 19 2001 mon-0.99.1/ drwxr-sr-x 11 trockij mon 4096 Dec 18 03:20 mon-0.99.2-5/ drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Feb 9 22:06 mon.d/ drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Jul 23 2001 reboot.d/ drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Nov 16 13:16 state.d/ "cur" is a symlink to the version we're running. the untarred files (mon-0.99.2-5 in this case) are exactly as they come in the distribution, with no changes whatsoever. all the other directories, such as "alert.d", "mon.d", "log.d", "reboot.d", "state.d", and "etc" are the site-specific things which remain the same from version to version, and they override what comes with the distribution if necessary. all the configs are kept in "etc": : mon-bd2 /export/home/mon$; ls -l etc total 60 drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Nov 28 14:40 RCS/ -r--r--r-- 1 mon mon 1306 Feb 18 11:39 auth.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 mon mon 12988 Feb 21 2001 mon-test.m4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root mon 28274 Feb 18 11:39 mon.m4 drwxrwsr-x 2 mon mon 4096 Jan 17 10:05 monshow/ -rw-rw-r-- 1 mon mon 248 Feb 18 11:39 monusers.cf so, there you have it. this is not required for an installation, but this layout helps you easily transition from one version of mon to the next.
