Files	Description
images/*	Images for display Move/copy this to your htdocs or html directory # cp images/* /var/www/html/. or # mv images /var/www/html wherever your html directory is
monitor/	Move this directory to your /cgi-bin/ directory of your webserver
monitor/monitor.pl	THIS IS THE MAIN PROGRAM Should be running as a cron job chmod u+x montior.pl ; Only execulable by root/authorized user not nobody or your webserver users.
monitor/createserver.pl	THIS IS THE PROGRAM TO ADD NEW SERVERS TO WATCH LIST Allows you to easily from command line chmod u+x createserver.pl; add new server or modify existing servers from STDIN by root/authorized user not nobody or your webserver users.
monitor/monitor-cron	THIS IS THE CRON JOB You can move this to the /etc/cron.d directory or add this line to /etc/crontab cp ./monitor/monitor-cron /etc/cron.d/
monitor/index.cgi	THIS IS THE WEB INTERFACE This page displays all the webserver/smtp servers that you are monitoring and their current status + their past history of up and down times.
monitor/fullindex.cgi	THIS IS THE WEB INTERFACE FOR INDIVIDUAL SERVERS Just another interface for more detailed reports Such as up and down times in details.
monitor/www.yahoo.com.server	THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT FILE (EXAMPLE FILE). For each server you want to monitor, Just create a file called servername.server. For e.g., www.ericavijay.net, you will create a file called "www.ericavijay.net.server" Here you need to enter the follwing info in pipe-delimited format ("|"); the data is service|admin-emailaddress|nothing For e.g, http|admin@yahoo.com|junk The last data is not really important yet. You can only monitor one service at a time. Suppose you have smtp and http running on a server that is called www.ericavijay.net and smtp.ericavijay.net ; you can create two files called www.ericavijay.net.server with data "http|admin@ericavijay.net|junk" and another file smtp.ericavijay.net.server with data "smtp|mailadmin@ericavijay.net|junk"
I will be improving this program if you find any bugs send them to vijay@ericavijay.net. Copyright GPL you can modify and dstribute as you like only dont remove the information about the source of the program. Vijay Sarvepalli ericavijay@users.sourceforge.net Thanks
