Linux Monitor is a Linux system monitoring software that keeps track of system resources and performance.
The installation process for Linux Monitor is straightforward. The `configure' shell script works to determine the correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It creates a `Makefile' in each directory of the package and one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent definitions. After configuring, it creates a shell script `config.status' that can be run in the future to recreate the current configuration. It also creates a file `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring and a file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure'). If users need to do unusual things to compile the package, they can try to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them and mail diffs or instructions to the given address in the `README.'
The software has certain requirements. Users need to have OpenSSL 0.9.6b or later, glibc 2.2.3 or later, and gcc 2.9x or 3.0.4 or later. Linux Monitor is continually evolving. In the latest release, some updates have been made. The software now has glib support added. Glib is required, and users can now parse messages for INFO. The SQL insert bug has been fixed in the server, and a possible memory leak has been taken care of in lparser.
The process of compiling this package is simple. Users need to `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for their system. If users are using `csh' on an old version of System V, they might need to type `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. The process of compiling the package takes a while. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for. Once the configuration is complete, users need to type `make' to compile the package, `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package, and finally, `make install' to install the programs, data files, and documentation. If users want to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, they can type `make clean.' To remove the files `configure' created, users can type `make distclean.' The `make maintainer-clean' target is intended mainly for the package's developers. If users use it, they may have to get all sorts of other programs to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Overall, Linux Monitor is an excellent package that monitors your system's performance and sends error reports to syslog or the Linux Monitor server. The software has a simple installation process, and the process of compiling the package is straightforward. The latest updates have made the software better and more efficient.
