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.
