[leaf-user] gkrellm
Hi, It's a long time since I called upon this list as Leaf is the most quiet system it runs on a stand system in my network and is so quiet you tend to forget it is there (until you look in the log!). As it is so unobtrusive, it is easy to forget, even when something threatens to go wrong (e.g. a fan that stops). I therefore wonder if anybody has taken the effort to port gkrellmd to the leaf package so you can monitor it from another station on temperature, fans, etc. If anybody knows something about it I would very much like to hear. Thanks in advance, Joep -- The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/

[leaf-user] gkrellm
I recently discoverd this little gem, gKrellm. It is a graphical tool to monitor your system essentials but uses not much resources. Ther is a server version gkrellmd which runs on a system an can sent system information to another system to ber monitored. As I use Behring already since 2 years, recently switched to the uclib version and like to monitor this remote system, I would like to install this little program. However, it isn't compiled using uclib therefore it wont run. At this moment I don;t have the time to compile it myself, due to obligations to other tasks. I wonder if anybody has the same needs and has the time to recompile the source. It can be found at http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html Thanks already, -- Joep L.
