Topic: Sysmon vs System-Monitor

[groyk]

Hi

What is the difference on Sysmon and System-monitor?? As I can read in this forum is that System monitor is based on an old version of Sysmon.

But at the same time I can see MasterSleepy has developed on both Sysmon and System monitor!!

What is the difference, and why are these 2 maybe similar contribs not merged as one?

sysmon was probably the original.

Master Sleepy then updated it but kept it the same name which was causing some confusion.

Mastersleepy then changed the name to system-monitor to avoid confusion and yum conflicts.

I use system-monitor on my 7.3 system.

He reused almost all code claiming it was his work, which in fact was not the case... but lets not start that discussion anymore.

Cactus why post that unnecessary reaction?

Are you on a quest to piss of certain contributor and drive him away?

Sick and tired of flames...

It is to illustrate that there is almost no differences between the contribs and I already said I did not want to raise that discussion again.

My opinion is that the you'd better stick with the smeserver-sysmon contrib as this is:

• written by a core dev
• stored in SME Contribs CVS
• has a category in the bugtracker
• patches can be applied by any dev (with access to SME Contribs CVS repository) or submitted through the bug tracker
• 98% of the code is written by a core dev, in other words he knows his code base (through and through), whereas MasterSleepy can understand the code (if he does/has taken the effort) which I doubt from some of his support questions and reactions in the forums

To go short smeserver-sysmon has the QA tools and facilities that smeserver-systemmonitor lacks, besides the fact that it is not nice to claim code that has been written by others, as even when released under GPL licenses, you are not allowed to claim ownership[ when the code is not yours.

Hello All,

There is an old discussion that already focus on that.
The final conclusion was, and still be, USE SYSMON.

Shortly, all new dev that are in system_monitor will be in sysmon.
I said shortly because I'm really short of time.

Regs,

MasterSleepy.
