Topic: GKrellM - graphical server monitoring from a workstation

There's your problem mate - you're trying to install the client package (which needs X windows).....

You need to get gkrellm-server-2.1.3-fr0.rh73-1.i386

After a long search, gkrellm for microsoft windows was finally located.  I downloaded and installed it. (v2.1.21 with the Bill Nalen windows system dependent code)

Upon launching, there are no measurements.

I have also downloaded and installed the gkrellm Server (again, for microsoft windows).  It, too, will launch, but nothing seems to happen.

I will assume that I've completely missed the boat by believing that this tool would let me look at my windows box in the same way that gkrellm lets me see my linux box's performance and operation.

If so, then what is the gkrellm server for if not to 'feed' the gkrellm client (both for microsoft windows)?

Hey all,

I anyone is still interested in running gkrellmd I found an rpm for the daemon at http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/gkrellm-daemon-2.2.2-2.i386.rpm

Can't comment on the windows client as my client is on linux.

Thanks again !

Edit = Works great !

First, I installed this http://dag.wieers.com/packages/gkrellm/gkrellm-daemon-2.2.4-0.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm on my SME v7 RC3,

Next, I edited the gkrellm.conf file to allow acces from my subnet,

I installed your .exe on my XP Pro Laptop, i modified the shortcut like this : "C:\Program Files\GKrellM\gkrellm.exe" -s 192.168.5.100 -P 19150

And it works VERY well ! even through a VPN !!!

Thanks a lot !!!

CrazyBob's copy of Gkrellm setup works great but I thought you needed to install GTK+ 2 runtime for Windows first. You can get it here - http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

I tried GTK and Gkrellm on my Windows box last night and they talked to my gkrellm daemon on SME perfectly. Only quirk is some of the gkrellm themes (eg. Invisible) look like crap. I found the Hardware theme (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/gkrellm/gkrellm-hardware.tar.gz)looks good.

I used crontab -e to add an @reboot cron entry to start gkrellmd on boot
