NAME

jmond - jMon distributed resource monitor daemon

SYNOPSIS

jmond [-p port]

DESCRIPTION

jmond is the daemon part of the jMon Distributed Resource
Monitor. The jmon(1) client creates a TCP/IP connection to the
jmond daemon running on each of the hosts that are to be moni
tored. The daemon calculates the resource usage from the /proc
filesystem.

OPTIONS

-p port
This parameter specifies the port that the daemon
should listen on. This parameter is optional, with the default
being port 7777.

DIAGNOSTICS

The daemon calculates the resource usage from /proc/stat
(CPU info) and /proc/meminfo (memory and swap info). In order to
allow this process, support for the virtual /proc filesystem MUST
be compiled into the kernel and it must be mounted.
For the sake of convenience, the jmond daemon forks to
create a child, killing the parent. This allows for easy daemon
installation using, for example, the SysVInit startup method. In
order to further facilitate this method, the daemon writes its
process id to the file /var/run/jmond.pid.

FILES

/usr/sbin/jmond
/var/run/jmond.pid
