HI Jim
thanks for your answer.
That what I believed but i was not sur.
So I will move from my /home/download/mon directory to .. well for exemple
/opt/mon and after launch the mon perl file.
I think It will be goor to put that in FAQ
May i ask one more question ?
where i should put the extra perl module that i have downloaded from CPAN ?
regards

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:

"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

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.
