Main Process Scripts
To check that the configuration file is syntactically valid, and to create
any missing directories, you can run check-config.
remstats also supplies a collection of shell-scripts to invoke a specific
sequence of programs. Many of them simply invoke a collector, run
its output through updater Those are: do-log
, do-ping
,
do-port
, do-remoteping
, do-snmp
and do-unix-status
.
alert-email is triggered by the alert-monitor to send email
when a problem is detected. You can have your own alert mechanism if
you want; look at the alert-monitor docs.
The final script is do-remstats, which is what you usually run out of
crontab to do "everything". It also runs graph-writer and the rest
of the pagemakers.
