2001/06/09 12:44:28 (aeby)	uxmon/Config/load:

	yet another PERL setting flaw fixed

2001/06/01 21:40:53 (aeby)	Makefile:

	enum_groups() method.

2000/10/07 22:43:25 (aeby)	bsmonitor/bsmon.pl, bbd.pl, RotatingLog.pm:
	when it's time to do a logrotate for var/status.log:
	  - bbd (RotatingLog.pm) logs a 'logrotate' command in status.log
	  - bbd (RotatingLog.pm) tries to rename the log file for 60 secs
	  - bsmon closes status.log as soon as it sees the logrotate command
	  - bsmon re-opens status.log when its size changes
	This is for Win32 systems (on Windows NT you cannot rename an open file,
	so both bbd and bsmon have to close status.log before bbd can rotate
	it...)

2000/10/01 17:10:55 (aeby)	common.pm:
	log(): change syslog level "warn" to "warning" (some modules erroneously
	use "warn")

	monitor configuring script in order to avoid side effects.
	Added the "DEFAULT" feature (see sample uxmon-net)

2000/07/25 14:32:30	tools/cfgfile.pm, Makefile:
	added 'cfgfile' module as a standard module for reading config file
	and offering some minimum basic semantics (such as the "include" statement,
	'#' as the comment character, etc.)

2000/07/13 19:52:53	bbdisp.pm:
	use main::status_texts for backgrounds

	new fping style of reporting
	added support for -C option, reports standard deviation and variance as well
	as max/min/avg.  Next step is to add a monitor to the standard deviation (as

	use common main::status_* hashes

2000/06/28 20:23:47	bsmonitor/Statusmon/Display.pm, skins/default/BGROUND.inc:
	back ground (BGROUND variable) is now determined via skins, removed obsolete
	hashes from Display.pm

	added status_texts and status_codes hashes

2000/06/26 22:40:30	uxmon/Monitor/ping.pm:
	detect open3() errors, detect hosts that don't respond or fail

2000/06/26 22:37:10	uxmon/Config/_snmp:
	operstatus is NOT a differential check (duh)

2000/06/26 22:08:23	bbd.pl:
	bbd dies mysteriously, fixed.

2000/06/22 20:20:28	Schedule.pm:
	do all checks on reconfigure (fix)

2000/06/22 19:01:01	uxmon/Config/software, uxmon/Config/ntp:
	args hash is inherited, don't modify it in Config scripts...

2000/06/22 19:00:58	uxmon/Config/metastat:

2000/06/20 22:28:53	uxmon/Monitor/mrtg.pm:
	Use PNG images now that that is the default for mrtg.  People using GIF
	will have to modify mrtg.pm, search and replace -day.png with -day.gif.

2000/06/20 22:19:55	uxmon/Monitor/fs.pm:
	Report verbose status via status 100

2000/06/20 22:13:28	uxmon/Monitor/atmport.pm:
	Sync atmport with my local copy.
	If a switch is down when the module is loaded, the port cannot be resolved
	to a number.  In this case, we now fall back to a staticly configured hash
	of expected port values. (FORE specific)

2000/06/20 22:07:03	uxmon/Config/_snmp, uxmon/Monitor/snmp.pm:
	
	
	SNMP structure modified to allow for walk_checks.  One walk queries the

	source ip address to use in outgoing status updates.  Useful for machines with multiple IPs.

2000/06/20 21:33:34	log_mail.pl:
	
	
	Set QMAILUSER and QMAILNAME to some defaults.  If using qmail, it sets the
	outgoing fields in mail, if not, it's harmless anyway.

2000/06/20 21:24:00	common.pm:
	
	
	Added a line to use unix domain sockets for syslog.  Commented out by
	default just in case it would break people.  It works for me, testing on
	other OS's would be good.

2000/06/20 21:11:33	bb_start:
	
	
	Set umask in bb_start, also use a login shell for su.  Helps to set ENV
	variables in case of mail.

2000/06/20 21:10:12	Makefile:
	
	Modified Makefile to use perl for in-place replacement instead of "ed"
	Anyone out there use ed? :)

2000/06/18 18:52:36	bsmonitor/Statusmon/grouping.pm:
	added "join"/"leave" field for groupmembers event

	when closing connection remove entry not only from connection list
	but also from args list.

2000/06/12 17:20:39	bsmonitor/Statusmon/Display.pm:
	removed needs_update() debug output

2000/06/12 17:19:15	uxmon/Monitor/fs.pm:

	     flag, do recompute and create pages only if
	     isdirty set. Synctime check fixed.

23.9.98: release 0.10alpha



    23.9.98: bb_start: use home directory of user bs as the
	     Big Sister root dir if it looks appropriate. Start

	     few MIBs.

    21.9.98: Monitor::snmp.pm: add_check: if the "differential"
	     argument equals "PERSEC" the difference of the
	     polled values is divided thru the number of seconds
