| 10 | Monitas is alpha-quality code. If it eats you alive, don't blame me. ;)
|
|---|
| 11 | However, please bear in mind that I am writing and testing it on a daily
|
|---|
| 12 | basis and I haven't lost any data yet.

| 15 | INSTALLING
|
|---|
| 16 | """"""""""
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | Monitas will not work unless you install Mondo first. Mondo has its own
|
|---|
| 19 | dependencies which must be fulfilled before it will run, such as Mindi.
|
|---|
| 20 | So, before you even try to install Monitas, please install Mondo. Make
|
|---|
| 21 | sure you are installing the LATEST SNAPSHOT from the website
|
|---|
| 22 | (http://www.mondorescue.com/download.html).
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | Unzip the Monitas tarball (the one you've unzipped in order to read
|
|---|
| 25 | this message). Then, type:-
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | # cd monitas-0.1a
|
|---|
| 28 | # ./make-server info
|
|---|
| 29 | # ./make-client info
|
|---|
| 30 | # mkdir /root/monitas
|
|---|
| 31 | # cp -f client,server /root/monitas
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | (If you have problems later on, repeat the 'make' commands but drop the
|
|---|
| 34 | 'info' parameter from each.)

| 37 | SERVER
|
|---|
| 38 | """"""
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | Because Monitas is alpha-quality code, you should not install it in
|
|---|
| 41 | /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin. Instead, run it from /root:-
|
|---|
| 42 | # /root/monitas/server info &
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | To monitor the server, type:-
|
|---|
| 45 | # tail -f /var/log/monitas/monitas-server.log
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | To kill the server, type:-
|
|---|
| 48 | # kill `cat /var/run/monitas-server.pid`

|

|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | Then, go to another console and type:-
|
|---|
| 54 | # /root/monitas/client info 127.0.0.1 &
|
|---|
| 55 | Replace '127.0.0.1' with the IP address of the PC on which the server runs.
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | To monitor the client, type:-
|
|---|
| 58 | # tail -f /var/log/monitas/monitas-client.log
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | To kill the client, type:-
|
|---|
| 61 | # kill `cat /var/run/monitas-client.pid`

| 67 | """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | To backup, compare or restore /usr/local, please go to the
|
|---|
| 70 | server's console and type one of these:-
|
|---|
| 71 | # echo "backup 127.0.0.1 /usr/local" > /var/spool/monitas/server-input.dev
|
|---|
| 72 | # echo "compare 127.0.0.1 /usr/local" > /var/spool/monitas/server-input.dev
|
|---|
| 73 | # echo "restore 127.0.0.1 /usr/local" > /var/spool/monitas/server-input.dev
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | To do it while sitting at the client PC, type one of these:-
|
|---|
| 76 | # echo "backup /usr/local" > /var/spool/monitas/client-input.dev
|
|---|
| 77 | # echo "compare /usr/local" > /var/spool/monitas/client-input.dev
|
|---|
| 78 | # echo "restore /usr/local" > /var/spool/monitas/client-input.dev
|
|---|
| 79 |
|
|---|
| 80 | By default, files are restored to /mnt/RESTORING. To restore to the / dir,
|
|---|
| 81 | enter the following at the client's console:-
|
|---|
| 82 | # echo "restore /usr/local /" > /var/spool/monitas/client-input.dev
|
|---|
| 83 | or this on the server's console:-
|
|---|
| 84 | # echo "restore 127.0.0.1 /usr/local /" > /var/spool/monitas/server-input.dev
