Pinger For Linux

Pinger is a network monitor tool with optional WWW interface (includes such features as sending SNMP traps to other host and others).

1. Become root and gunzip/tar sources

2. Create list of hosts to monitor to. I used standard file used by named server (modified as show bellow):

... hosts file sample ... ; ; This is file of my hosts ; ; ;PINGER_START ; pingerd will look from here | vilma A 192.168.3.1 theodor - thoma's computer ;) ... ... ; remember, pinger use FIRST world of each line. ;SLEEP xx - sleep xx seconds ;PINGER_STOP ; pingerd will stop here ; All below will not be monitored non-important.node ... end

anyway - look at template in etc/

3. ./configure ( --help )

4. Edit src/config.h and src/pingerd.h if you have ping path different from /bin/ping.

6. Type make ; make install

7. Insert /usr/sbin/pingerd to your rc.local file.

8. Type /usr/sbin/pingerd or reboot your computer.

9. Move src/*.cgi to your httpd cgi-bin directory

Run www browser and type http://your.host.name/cgi-bin/pinger.cgi
