Just my "two cents". It's more of an encouragement than anything else. I have a hard time understanding the code in BigSister. There's not a lot of doc in the code and I haven't seen much external documentation such as writing one's own tests. If I could write PERL code even to save my life, I'd help w/ BigSister because I use it to monitor approx. 400 hosts. I must concur that I like BigSister much more than BigBrother. It's too bad that my programming abilities are lousy to say the least. Sadly, I don't foresee me improving too much either -- programming isn't one of my God-given abilities. Nonetheless, I've been able to weasel 0.98c8 for well over a year without too many headaches. I've got it rigged up on Debian Linux, Solaris, and OpenBSD (barely). I've got some BigBrother clients feeding it. I've got a it rigged to send SMS pages. My personal contributions is a very short external PERL script that cleans up the pages and trims them back to fit cleanly into the 150 characters or so allowed by most SMS cell phones. I used qpage to dial the modem to the various SMS carriers. If anybody wants a copy of the paging script, please just ask. best regards, Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------- suppressed Wilton, Connecticut USA ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
