The B<smokeping> tool is the commandline part of the SmokePing system. Its
21
main function is to run as a daemon and send Pings to all the Targets you
22
have specified in the Config file. When you call B<smokeping> without
23
arguments it will start as a daemon and do it's work.
25
If called with an argument, then further functions can be activated, as seen
26
in the Synopsis above. The B<--email> function is explained in the
27
documentation on the config file.
29
The B<--makepod> does get used internally to produce the documentation on
30
the SmokePing configuration file.
32
Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions.
36
When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to fit your
37
local system. Three paths have to be entered.
39
use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);
41
One pointing to your B<rrdtool> installation
43
use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);
45
One pointing to the place where you have installed the SmokePing libraries
49
Smokeping::main("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");
51
The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::main command. It points to
52
the SmokePing configuration file.
