Hardware monitoring
Hi, is there any hardware monitoring soft available for Linux? All the ones I found were for Windows.
thx |
gkrellm is what you're looking for... try a search for it on google
-NSKL |
Thanks. Can I take any version or do I need a special version for SuSE Linux 8.0?
Sorry, I'm a total :newbie: to linux. |
Nope, point your browser to http://freshmeat.net/projects/gkrell...c_id=862%2C152, there you can get a tarballed source,or pre-compiled binaries in the form of RPM (SuSE supports RPM, doesn't it?)
|
I have no idea whether it supporst it or not, I don't even know what RPM means other than rotation per minute.
What is it? Do you know anywhere I can find like a dictionnary of all the Linux vocabulary? |
try here in the glossary page http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/glossary.php

Installing via RPM
1. You can install rpms by opening up a console/terminal (eg. a command-line).
2. Change to the directory you downloaded it to. By typing cd <the name of directory>. 3. Type rpm -ivh <program-name>. 4. Watch the the little hashs (####) go across the screen. 5. I'll get back to you or someone on how it is actually started, I'd first try the obvious: type gkrellm and press enter. NOTE: This is done under Linux. |
But I keep hearing about compiling and everything, is an RPM already compiled or do I have to do it myslef.
What is that command (rpm -ivh [prog name]) gonna do, is it gonna load some installation process like the install shild in Windows? |

After that you should be able to start the program, without a restart. :) |
Ok I get it, but where is it gonna install the files? Is it not like in Windows where I can choose the installation path?
