Big Sister 0.98 c 8 (stable) Release Notes



  This is a bug fix release. The only new feature included
is the NUT UPS monitor also released for 0.98c7 as an installable
module.

  Made SystemV sar monitor AIX compatible.

  Fixed FQDN handling. Switch to FQDN now via "DEFAULT fqdn=yes ALL"
in uxmon-net.

  Added the NUT UPS monitor.

  The 'realhttp' test got two extra arguments: "extraheaders" and
"extraheadersvalue" allowing to send custom headers.

  Made logging via syslog more robust. It should now behave a
little bit more reasonable on systems where the Perl syslog
module fails to use Unix domain sockets.

  Fixed high granularity time measurement. It now works on every
platform where Perl >=5.8 is installed and does not crash on
platforms that do not support the gettimeofday() system call.

  Added swap monitor implementation for Solaris so that we get
a swap memory usage on this platform, too.

  Fixed the "users" sensor.

  The RPM now creates the Big Sister user "bigsis" in the system 
users' uid space.

  Fixed %Rsync which was broken since version 0.98beta4.

  The default config files are those provided by Herb Rubin.

  uxmon command now shows a Usage string when invoked with wrong
arguments.
