NAME

   fai-monitor - fai monitor daemon

SYNOPSIS

   fai-monitor

DESCRIPTION

   fai-monitor receives messages from all install clients on port 4711 and
   prints them to stdout.

OPTIONS

   -p  port
          Define port to listen on. Default is port 4711.

   -b     Call fai-chboot for the install client if the task  install  was
          finished properly. Default is not to call fai-chboot.

   -i     Use  IP address of connecting host when calling fai-chboot. This
          can only be used if the host has the same IP while installing as
          when running.

   -l FILE
          Logfile.   Default  is  standard  out  in  non-daemon  mode  and
          "/var/log/fai-monitor.log" in daemon mode.

   -t TIMEOUT
          Timeout for bad clients. 0 to disable.

   -d     Daemon mode.

   -P FILE
          PID-file. Default is "/var/run/fai-monitor.pid".  Used  only  if
          starting in daemon mode.

   -T     Print timestamps in the log.

NOTES

   Normally,  the  output  will  be  piped to fai-monitor-gui, a GUI which
   displays all information.

   fai-monitor reads variables from /var/log/fai/variables (key=value pair
   format)  and  replies  to request from clients if they have the format:
   VARIABLE  <VARNAME>.  For  e.g.  if   the   clients   sends   "VARIABLE
   FAI_VERSION",  fai-monitor  will  reply  with  OK and the value of this
   variable (e.g. "OK 4.5.6") if this variable is  defined,  otherwise  it
   will  reply  with  UNKNOWN  and  repeats  the  VARNAME  (e.g.  "UNKNOWN
   FAI_VERSION").

SEE ALSO

   This program is part of FAI (Fully Automatic  Installation).   See  the
   FAI  manual  for  more  information on how to use fai-monitor.  The FAI
   homepage is http://fai-project.org.
