[xymon] Feature? svcs

[Ward, Martin]

You sure you want to rename it? I mean it does exactly the same thing,
monitoring the SMF, so I have no problems with you simply overwriting my
version and taking all the credit.

 

Actually, I do wonder if it shouldn't report back under the svcs column,
or is it considered bad form to have two different forms of data under
the same column heading (I do it already. I have a column called raid.
For some Sun servers it reports on metastat(1m) and on others it reports
on zfs(1m) output).

Hi Martin

Gave it a try this arvo, and it looks good.
Then came the comments from my colleagues.
The comments were all good, but they wanted more. (Don't they always)

One of the features what the ability to monitor a service to ensure it
was disabled, and go red if it was enabled.

So, I started adding some features to your code. I thought I would do a
put-back as version 2.0
But it's slowly becoming very different.
Besides the feature above, it takes one service per line in
client-local.cfg and it's in ksh now. (I just prefer ksh over sh)

Once it's done, I will put it onto Xymonton as smf2 or something
similar.
It's going to be different enough to warrant a new name.

Cheers
    Vernon
