[Ganglia-developers] Windows and wrong total memory reading

2007-12-30 Thread richard grevis
Hi, I think this is a bug in cygwin (/proc) and not a bug in gmond or its libraries. Try putting a bit of debugging in cygwin metric.c mem_total_func(). (or slurpfile() in lib/file.c). Or install cygwin itself on the server and look at /proc manually. kind regards, Richard Grevis Quoting

[Ganglia-developers] Gmetad/gmond don't change gid

2007-09-10 Thread Richard Mohr
