steve-
to get gexec working with 2.5.0... you need to compile the monitor-core
with --enable-gexec. the reason gexec thinks there are no hosts up is
because no gmond is multicasting that it is available.
if ( host_up && gexec_available ) { use_that_host; }
if you run "gstat -a" you'll see that all your hosts are showing Gexec
OFF.
brent (the author of gexec) and i talked on the phone yesterday. he is
happy to lend informational help about the code but doesn't have much time
to do any coding on it. i told him that i wanted to revisit gexec for
ganglia 3 and modernize it to take advantage of the new features.
if you want to jump into it go right ahead. btw, i loved the earlier
message about the ganglia "community" idea.
i'm in the final stretch for building the internal data structure for
ganglia 3. i'm also preparing a presentation for the linux users group at
lbl (http://lug.lbl.gov)... they asked me to speak for 1.5 hour. you
don't mind if i quote you on the ganglia community model .. do you? :)
