Sysmon Startup Item with Leopard Launchd Support ¬
2008-08-20
I’ve been sitting on, and tweaking infrequently, a launchd plist for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (and Server, of course) for launching the Sysmon daemon at boot and keeping it running. Well, it’s time to release it out into the wild, so without further ado:
This is an update to my Sysmon StartupItem in that I’ve rewritten the install script to install either the StartupItem or the launchd plist file where appropriate (utilizing the little trick I wrote about a few days ago), plus updates to the documentation and such. It should support Panther & Tiger via the StartupItem and Leopard via the launchd plist. Of course, more details and previous versions can be found on the Development page.
Let me know how it goes if you use it.
A Minor Sysmon Startup Item Update ¬
2007-05-23
I’ve released another minor update to my Sysmon StartupItem.
This release enables the ability to disable the Startup Item without needing to actually move/remove it. It now requires that either a SYSMON=-YES- or SYSMON=-NO- line in your /etc/hostconfig file, but this is a fairly common practice/requirement for Startup Items.
Of course, now the Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) has been delayed until October, I can continue to procrastinate on porting this over to a launchd job.
Sysmon Startup Item Update ¬
2007-02-19
It’s odd that I’ve done this seven months, to the day, since the initial release, but today I’ve released a minor update to my Sysmon StartupItem.
This is a very minor release and just improves the implementation of RestartService() as well as moving the install directory to the more appropriate /Library/StartupItems (instead of /System/Library/StartupItems/).
I really need to port this to launchd instead of improving it, but hey, that’s how it goes sometimes.
Sysmon Startup Item for Darwin/Mac OS X ¬
2006-07-19
I’ve created a basic Darwin/Mac OS X Startup Item for the Sysmon (version 0.92.2, as of this writing) server monitoring and failure notification daemon.
Basically:
- Download, build, and install Sysmon
- Download and uncompress the Startup Item
- Read my included README file
- Run ‘install.sh’
- Drop your .config files for sysmond in /etc/sysmond/
- Run ‘sudo /sbin/SystemStarter start “Network Monitoring”’
The last command launches sysmond via the Startup Item and if you reboot it’ll come back up automatically as well. Read the README file for the specifics.
This Startup Item and its install script are released under the BSD license (see the included LICENSE file) and can be downloaded here:
It looks like I’ll be working with Sysmon some more, so expect a bit more on this in the near future.
Update: The latest release can always be found on the Development page.
