WARNING Will Robinson
I use the great application called
GKrellm. Its a system monitoring tool; it monitors CPU and case temp's, disk usage, network usage, memory and swap status and uptime to name a few. Well this morning I accidently found there is a GKrellmd package. A little probing find you can connect remotely to a GKrellmd with a GKrellm client. So I urpmi'd GKrellmd on my server and launched it with:
gkrellmd -a 10.1.1.11 -m 1 -d
And then launched a seperate instance of GKrellm on my desktop with the command:
gkrellm -s 10.1.1.1
And up she popped with all my servers information. Beut! Didn't have temps though. So I checked and didnt have lm_sensors package installed. So urpmi'd that and ran what it suggested "sensors-detect". It asked about scanning my system and found 2 sensors. One was my motherboard one and the other was a riva named chip. Must be the VGA. Thought I would say yes to installing a module for that as well and WHAMO! Whole system to a halt. There goes my 82 day uptime :(
