pkgsrc/sysutils/gkrellm-server/DESCR
cube bacf6df47e Initial import of gkrellm-server, version 2.1.25 into the NetBSD Package
Collection, from pkgsrc-wip.

With the 2.x series, GKrellM introduced a client/server mode where a server
process has the probes on a host of the network, and a client can gather
data from that server and display it as a normal GKrellM applet.

With a single process, GKrellM manages multiple stacked monitors and supports
applying themes to match the monitors appearance to your window manager,
Gtk, or any other theme.
* SMP CPU, Disk, Proc, and active net interface monitors with LEDs.
* Internet monitor that displays current and charts historical port hits
* Memory and swap space usage meters and a system uptime monitor.
* File system meters show capacity/free space and can mount/umount.
* A mailbox monitor which can launch mail reader, remote mail fetch.
* Clock/calendar and hostname display.
* APM laptop battery monitor.
* CPU/motherboard temperature display if lm_sensors modules installed.
* Multiple monitors managed by a single process to reduce system load.
* A timer button that can execute PPP or ISDN logon/logoff scripts.
* Charts are autoscaling with configurable grid line resolution, or
can be set to a fixed scale mode.
* Separate colors for "in" and "out" data. The in color is used for
CPU user time, disk read, forks, and net receive data. The out color
is used for CPU sys time, disk write, load, and net transmit data.
* Commands can be configured to run when monitor labels are clicked.
* GKrellM is plugin capable so special interest monitors can be created.
* A different theme can be created with the GIMP.
The gkrellm2-server package installs the monitoring part of GKrellM, which
can be made to run as a daemon to be polled over the network by the GKrellM
client as found in the gkrellm2 package.
