fai-monitor - fai monitor daemon
fai-monitor
fai-monitor receives messages from all install clients on port 4711 and prints them to stdout.
Normally, the output will be piped to fai-monitor-gui, a GUI which displays all information.
fai-monitor reads variables from /var/log/fai/variables (key=value pair format) and replies to request from clients if they have the format: VARIABLE <VARNAME>. For e.g. if the clients sends "VARIABLE FAI_VERSION", fai-monitor will reply with OK and the value of this variable (e.g. "OK 4.5.6") if this variable is defined, otherwise it will reply with UNKNOWN and repeats the VARNAME (e.g. "UNKNOWN FAI_VERSION").
This program is part of FAI (Fully Automatic Installation). See the FAI manual for more information on how to use fai-monitor. The FAI homepage is https://fai-project.org.
