All error messages will go to syslog. -.TP 8 -.B \-f \fP<\fIconfiguration file\fP> -Name of configuration file. -.TP 8 -.B \-v -if specified, the program will produce more log messages describing its activity. -.TP 8 -.B \-r -Execute DOWN command repeatedly until host will be up again. If it is not specified, the command is excuted only once. - -.SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT -.PP -You need to create the configuration file. You can find a sample one in the distribution named 'sample.cfg'. The file consists of one or more lines. Lines starting with "#" are -comments and are ignored. Each line must contain following fields, separeated by spaces or -tabs: - -.TP 8 -.B Hostname \fP -Name of the host which will be monitored. -.TP 8 -.B Ping Interval \fP -Interval (in seconds) on which ICMP packets will be sent to the host to check it's status. -.TP 8 -.B Max. Delay \fP -Maximum delay (in seconds) after which host considered to be "down" if no response was received. -.TP 8 -.B "Up" Command \fP -Command which will be executed when host became accessible. -This command is executed -using "sh -c" and may contain shell syntax. If command contain spaces or tabs -it should be quoted. -If the command is executing some lenghy operation it is recommended to start -it as detached process (for example using '&'), because icmpmonitor will not resume monitoring of this -and other hosts until command is finished. -.TP 8 -.B "Down" Command \fP -Command which will be executed when host became not accessible. -This command will be executed -using "sh -c" and may contain shell syntax. If command contain spaces or tabs -it should be quoted. -If the command is executing some lenghy operation it is recommended to start -it as detached process (for example using '&'), because icmpmonitor will not resume monitoring of this -and other hosts until command is finished. -.TP 8 -.B Startup Condition (optional) \fp -Condition of the host that should be assumed on startup. -Possible values are "auto", "down", "none" and "up". -The parameter is optional with "up" being the default value. -The main purpose is controlling which up/down commands will be launched on startup. -"auto" detects the state of the host silently on startup and doesn't launch any command first. -"down" assumes the host is down and executes the up command on the first ping recieved. Similar to "up". -"none" starts either up or down command on startup. - -.SH BUGS -It was reported that some systems (e.g. Solaris 2.5) do not have function -vsnprintf. In such case icmpmonitor will use vsprintf instead, but this could -cause buffer overflow problem. - -If you find any other bugs, please follow link to bug tracking system -from ICMPmonitor project home page to file them. -.TP 8 - -.PP -.SH SEE ALSO -.PP -\fBhttp://www.crocodile.org/software.html\fP -.SH AUTHOR -.PP -Vadim Zaliva -.SH CONTRIBUTORS -.PP -I would like to thank following people for help in developement of this software: -Alexandr S.
