SYNOPSIS

10       moomps [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY|CONFIGURATIONFILE]...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Moomps is a monitoring daemon which works using dashboard files created
14       by  the  moodss (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet) graphical
15       application. The dashboard files contain the definition of  thresholds,
16       data  cells  to  record,  definitions of formulas, ... Thresholds, when
17       crossed, create messages in the system log, possibly trigger the  send‐
18       ing of email alert messages and the execution of user-defined scripts.
19       It  is  also possible to use a database as a storage mean, so that data
20       history is for example available for presentations and graphs, via com‐
21       monly available spreadsheet software.
22
23       This  manual is very succinct and is to be used as a quick reminder for
24       the user. Complete and detailed  documentation  can  be  found  in  the
25       accompanying moomps.htm, database.htm, ... HTML documentations.
26
27       Moomps is usually started as a daemon, using the related operating sys‐
28       tem utilities. You can also start moomps  from  a  terminal  using  the
29       options described below.
30       After  the  eventual  options  described  above,  specify any number of
31       moodss generated configuration files (.moo files) or directories. For a
32       directory, moomps will load all .moo files in that directory as if they
33       were directly passed on the command line.
