I wanted to check the throughput speed of a wireless link (using nagios) and none of the nagios plugins were suitible. I didn't check every option of the many mnay nagios plugins, so perhaps your right. (google Nagios Exchange)
I ended writing a bash script to do the job, I'm no bash expert, but it worked. Essentially, I installed a different version of time, not the shell version, and placed a 10mb file on a server, then did : `time -f "e" wget --delete-after -q http://foo.com/10mb` ..and then tested the value of $t Bash doesn't handle fractions so I used bc to do the math and then tested for true. mj -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Hobson Sent: Tuesday, 12 December 2006 8:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [rrd-users] Re: GetHTTP Baker, John wrote: >Does anybody know of a program for FreeBSD/Linux that acts in the same >way as GetHTTP does for windows?

It might also be worth looking at the plugins available for Nagios - IIRC the HTTP check is written in Perl and may be adaptable to your needs. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
