Backup Central

Hi,
our plugin for nagios is complete. It is a perl script that parses the
current state of the repository. Its designed to be conformant with the
nagios plugin spec, so it may need to be tweaked for general use, but
its works well with nagios. Saves you getting all those messages saying
the backup worked, and just get messages saying the backup didn't work.

written by a brilliant guy we just employed - Christian Marie.
let us know if its useful at all

thanks

Cool. If this actually works it would be a shame if it got lost on
this mailing list. It looks like http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ is
the main site for holding nagios plugins. Have you considered adding
the plugin there? I could also then link to it from the rdiff-backup
page.

Hi Ben and David,

There's also a Nagios Plugins project on Sourceforge -
nagiosplug.sourceforge.net. If you stick it on their tracker it'll be
integrated into their releases, sooner or later.

Cheers, Chris.

Here we go:
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Linux.55.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=406&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=20%3A10

I might edit it with a bit more useful content later.

thanks

Great, I rearranged the web page a bit, and put a link to it at
http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/related.html
