Readme for Monit with Solaris
=============================

Written by Christian Hopp <address@hidden>  2002/07/15


Installation of the package: (e.g. for Solaris 7/Sparc)
-------------------------------------------------------

You need "gzip" for solaris in order to unpack it. You can find it at
http://www.sunfreeware.com for your platform.

Then do...

gzip -d  monit-2.5-sol7-sparc-local.pkg.gz
pkgadd -d monit-2.5-sol7-sparc-local.pkg

All the stuff went to /usr/local.  The documentation is located in
/usr/local/doc/monit.  For the installation and configuration of monit
please look in the documents located in /usr/local/doc/monit. An
example of an init script is there, too.


Deinstallation of the package:
------------------------------

Simply type...

pkgrm GNUmonit

...and the content of the package should be gone then.


Generation of a Solaris package:
--------------------------------

First of all you need:
        GNU/gzip
        md5
        and all other stuff you need for compilation.

All that you can find at http://www.sunfreeware.com .

Start the "makesolpkg.sh" script.  Beware you have to be in the
contrib/package/solaris directory to make it work.  The pkginfo and
the prototype files are generated.  If you wish to use different
settings like the base directory (aka prefix) or temporary directory
just change it in the script.

Make sure that the path to the GNU/make in the script is right.  The
generated file is named for Solaris 7/Sparc:

  monit-2.5-sol7-sparc-local.pkg.gz


Bye,
