Thanks Steve.

I hope submitting patches can be made easier through SourceForge in the
future. But I will let my college Gudmo decide how he goes about this since
he is the one currently developing and maintaining the script.

Until then post patches here or send directly to me or Gudmo.

Thanks Svenni,

I'll diff my files compared to your original at some point over the next
couple of days and send you the diffs.

Hi all.

I hope you find this monitoring script useful.
My college and I cooked it up tailored to our environment but later
decided to share it with the rest of the world in hope to receive some
feedback, ideas and patches.
I know there is a lot of room for improvement and our goal is to improve
the script with help from you guys.

Remember: sharing is caring
 - so please share your thoughts or patches.

Regards,
Svenni

I've got the scripts up and running on my install, took a fair bit of
tweaking as the scripts had quite a few items that were hardcoded:

* Had to add "$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;" to stop LWP
trying to validate the self-signed cert
* Had to remove the sudo command, it doesn't run without a TTY and not
sure why this is in there as resxtop doesn't need to be root to run
* Corrected the BB commands to use the $HOST variable instead of the
hardcoded 'hobbit' servername
* Had to convert the line endings to Unix - thats probably caused by
using rar format? use tar.gz instead (rar is only ever really used for
sharing illegal files)

It seems to work OK as a starting basis, abit too much hardcoded for my
liking but each to their own.

Nice effort :)

Looks like someone's working on an open VMware ESXi monitor:
