[Xymon] Raspberry Pi Xymon Server (Mac OS X Macport Xymon client)

[Nick Pettefar]

Bonjour Francois,

>From what I read in the OS X df manual page, Darwin (Mac OS X Unix)
uses the new Unix standard and df reurns the inodes used as well as
the disk space statistics.

bento:~ nick$ df
Filesystem    512-blocks       Used  Available Capacity   iused

You have to use df -PH to get a "straight" df output:

bento:~ nick$ df -PH
Filesystem      Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2    749G   632G   118G    85%    /
devfs           206k   206k     0B   100%    /dev
map -hosts        0B     0B     0B   100%    /net
map auto_home     0B     0B     0B   100%    /home
/dev/disk1s2    3.0T   1.6T   1.4T    54%    /Volumes/3TB-MIRROR
/dev/disk0s3    650M   488M   162M    76%    /Volumes/Recovery HD
/dev/disk2s3    1.0T   320G   680G    33%    /Volumes/1TB-RAID

WIthout this you don't get the Xymon figures for the graphs, etc.

I changed the /opt/local/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-darwin.sh file.

>From the df man page:

     -i      Include statistics on the number of free inodes. This
option is now the default to conform to Version 3 of the
             Single UNIX Specification (``SUSv3'') Use -P to suppress
this output.

Yes, this is the Macport version.  When trying to install it kept
failing due to unresolved dependencies it failed to install.  However
I then used Macport to install the dependencies seperately and then I
could carry on with the Xymon installation.  Silly.

(I change df -k to df -h to get a clearer display of disk statistics
on every Xymon client I am responsible for.)
