Hello, Nagios seems to be a good client monitor system. I was wondering if anyone also uses it as a client management system? By management, I mean running update scripts and other software on various Linux clients. For instance, I'd like to be able to tell clients to update a perl module with cpan or yum update some_rpm_package or download, untar, compile, install some in house software. I could write a client script to poll a server every so often asking what todo, but would rather not reinvent the wheel if something like this exists in Nagios/plugin or other software. Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Using Nagios specifically to run updates may not be the best solution. That being said... I've used it to compare installed versions of software with a list of requirements. The plugin would handle the update if needed. It was very specific. It would also handle monitoring config file mod dates. Could you do that... yes... should you? Only you can answer that one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
