Remote Shell

[dunhill]

Firstly let me say HostMonitor is Fantastic, I am currently testing it.

Is it possible to Remote Shell across to a Linux machine?

I know RMA's are available, but that means I need to get the Lunix Admin to install the (RMA) software, which they wont do, If I could remote shell that would help me get some performance stats using "top" without having to install any software on the Linux machine and then I will be able to run all the tests from HostMonitor from my PC.

Is there any other options? I would like to check load average and memory usage on a number of different boxes/machines

Thank you.

Thank you! We appreciate your opinion.

Sorry, HostMonitor does not provide such an option. IMHO, rsh, rexec, lrogin services are now obsolete. These services do not provide much security, so I do not think Linux admins allow you to connect to Linux machines using these services. Another thing is SSH. SSH is pretty secure and considered as a replacement for telnet, rlogin, rsh, rexec, etc. services. So, we plan to add "SSH Check" test method, however, I am not sure when it will be implemented.

If SNMP agent is running on target Linux system, you may use "SNMP Get" test method to gather necessary information. You just should provide proper OID. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... tm#chkSNMP

I vote for that
