* Package name : lbcd Version : 3.2.6 Upstream Author : Roland Schemers, Larry Schwimmer, Russ Allbery * URL : http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/lbcd/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C, Perl Description : Return system load via UDP for remote load balancers lbcd is a daemon that answers UDP queries for system load information and returns such information as uptime, load, number of logged-in users, percentage free of /tmp and /var/tmp, and whether there is a user on the console. It is intended for use with a load balancing system, and is particularly useful for such things as Unix clusters for remote login where a traditional hardware load balancing solution doesn't work as well. . No load balancing system is included in this package, only the client daemon and a simple Perl script to query it. No security or access control is done by the daemon, so access control must be done via iptables, a firewall, or an equivalent system. Russ already did all the packaging and the package has been in active use for quiet some time. It's just lacking an upload into the archive. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
