COMPILING AND INSTALLING:
========================

1. Become root and gunzip/tar sources

2. Create list of hosts to monitor to. I used standard file used by
named server (modified as show bellow):

Sample:

... hosts file sample ...
;
; This is file of my hosts
;
;
;PINGER_START 
;				pingerd will look from here |
vilma 	A	192.168.3.1
theodor - thoma's computer ;)
...
...
; remember, pinger use FIRST world of each line.
;SLEEP xx - sleep xx seconds
;PINGER_STOP
;				pingerd will stop here
; All below will not be monitored
non-important.node
... end


anyway - look at template in etc/


3. ./configure ( --help )

4. Edit src/config.h and src/pingerd.h if you have ping path different from /bin/ping.

6. Type make ; make install

7. Insert /usr/sbin/pingerd to your rc.local file.

8. Type /usr/sbin/pingerd or reboot your computer.

9. Move src/*.cgi to your httpd cgi-bin directory
   Run www browser and type http://your.host.name/cgi-bin/pinger.cgi

10. That'a all.
