6 + Description
7 + -----------
8 +
9 + ihost is a host for the i-scream central monitoring system. It's task
10 + is to collect information about the machine it runs on and report it
11 + to the server for monitoring. It makes use of the external libstatgrab
12 + library for collecting this information.
13 +
14   Building and Installation
15   -------------------------
16  
17 + First download and install libstatgrab and libukcprog. These two
18 + libraries are used by ihost, and other i-scream packages. They should
19 + be available from the same place as ihost.
20 +
21   After downloading and extracting ihost, configure and build as follows;
22  
23   ./configure
# Line 15 | Line 27 | Then install as root;
27  
28   make install

46   There are, of course, the usual GNU-style configure options;

# Line 39 | Line 57 | Running ihost with the -h flag will provide a list of
57   need to know the address and port number of your i-scream server's filter
58   manager. These details should be given on the command line to ihost.
59  
42 You may which to run ihost as a daemon, and the ihostchk.sh script helps
43 to ensure it's kept running. Alter the details at the top of this script
44 and add it to cron.
