SYNOPSIS¶
cricket-compile

DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the programs associated with Cricket.
- cricket-compile
-
The cricket-compile program compiles the Cricket config tree (found
in /etc/cricket) into the format read by the collector. It is
normally run after editing the files in the config tree. No options are
needed.
- collector
- The collector program reads a Cricket configuration from
/etc/cricket, compiled by the cricket-compile command, and
collects and stores data according to the information found there. It is
normally run periodically from a cron(8) job.
- grapher.cgi
- grapher.cgi is a CGI program to display the data collected by
Cricket in a graphical format. It is usually accessed using a web browser,
e.g. using the URL http://localhost/cgi-bin/cricket/grapher.cgi. It will
allow you to navigate around all of the targets in the config tree.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in
the HTML format; see below.
SEE ALSO¶
The programs are documented fully by various HTML documents available via the
help system, or directly in /usr/share/doc/cricket.
