Does anyone know of > a way to get ruptime to display info on those hosts? rwho/ruptime use a broadcast or multicast protocol with a TTL of 1 so it will only work on the local subnet. See the man page for rwhod(8). I would strongly recommend you use Big Brother (BB) since it has more monitoring capabilities and will work over LAN and WAN connections. It will monitor disk, memory, processes, connectivity, etc and then page you via several mechanisms. It will do a much better job for you versus rwho/ruptime. If you want lights...lots of lights, then the BB Web Status page is really cool. BB can be found at http://bb4.com/ To see it in action goto: http://www.maclawran.ca/bb/ > Thanks in advance, > -Steven > --------------------------------------- > Steven Honson > Internet Technologist & Consultant > Taroona High School, Australia > shonson@hubbub.ths.tased.edu.au > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
