45
<P>The <STRONG>smokeping</STRONG> tool is the commandline part of the SmokePing system. Its
46
main function is to run as a daemon and send Pings to all the Targets you
47
have specified in the Config file. When you call <STRONG>smokeping</STRONG> without
48
arguments it will start as a daemon and do it's work.</P>
49
<P>If called with an argument, then further functions can be activated, as seen
50
in the Synopsis above. The <STRONG>--email</STRONG> function is explained in the
51
documentation on the config file.</P>
52
<P>The <STRONG>--makepod</STRONG> does get used internally to produce the documentation on
53
the SmokePing configuration file.</P>
54
<P>Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions.</P>
57

58
<P>When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to fit your
59
local system. Three paths have to be entered.</P>
61
use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);</PRE>
62
<P>One pointing to your <STRONG>rrdtool</STRONG> installation</P>
64
use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);</PRE>
65
<P>One pointing to the place where you have installed the SmokePing libraries</P>
69
Smokeping::main("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");</PRE>
70
<P>The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::main command. It points to
71
the SmokePing configuration file.</P>
