GKrellDnet is a plugin for GKrellM that monitors Distributed.net clients, providing efficient management of the distributed network.
GKrellM Distributed.net Plugin, also known as GKrellDnet, is a plugin that allows monitoring of the Distributed.net client through GKrellM. This software requires a Linux or FreeBSD system, although it may work on other BSD variants. In addition, a working Distributed.net client version 2.8011 or later and GKrellM 2.0 or better must be installed.
Some notable features of GKrellM Distributed.net Plugin include support for the new absolute crunch-o-meter style, which is useful for the OGR contest. The plugin also supports the latest Distributed.net client and has a customizable command launch feature upon completion of each packet, as suggested by Ari Pollak. Users can also customize the output format, monitor the current contest, work units in input/output buffers, and progress in the current block/stub. Moreover, this plugin supports multi-processor systems of up to 10 CPUs and allows users to start or stop the client with a click of a mouse button.
To use this plugin, users must first copy the client wrapper 'dnetw' into their path and ensure that the Distributed.net client is also in their path. Additionally, the client should not redirect output to a file, and users who wish to log client activity should use the '-l' option of the wrapper. Users can verify that the wrapper works by typing 'dnetw dnetw.log' in the shell to receive the standard client output. Finally, the GKrellM plugin can be copied to either the system-wide plugin directory or the user's personal plugin directory.
The latest release of GKrellM Distributed.net Plugin includes support for the latest Distributed.net client output format. Overall, this plugin offers convenient monitoring of Distributed.net clients and boasts useful customizability features.
