I wanted to display the nagios status not only in the firefox browser (using the "nagios checker" extension), but also from the desktop. I found a shell script which was written for xfce and adapted it to output conky compatible output. How to use it: * copy-paste the [[:blogfiles:nagiosmon.sh]] script into a file, e.g. $HOME/bin/nagiosmon.sh, and make it executable with chmod +x * add the call to nagiosmon in your .conkyrc file:\\ ''${execpi 53 $HOME/bin/nagiosmon.sh}'' Ref: http://dieter.plaetinck.be/nagios_monitoring_in_your_desktop_panel_aka_Xfce_Genmon_panel_plugin_rules#comment-5914 {{tag>linux nagios conky}} ~~LINKBACK~~ ~~DISCUSSION~~ blog/display_nagios_status_on_the_desktop_using_conky.txt Last modified: 2010/06/23 08:34by brb
