Why is monit.tcz missing from the repo?

[willowdan]

Hi Everyone,

I just noticed monit.tcz is missing from http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/tcz/ but it is in http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/index_nojs.html. Is this a simple case of monit not yet supported in Tinycore 4.x versions? If so, any alternative i can use in 4.x versions?

Many thanks and cheers!

Hi willowdan
The reason it's only in the TC3 repo is because when Remus was setting up a Samba server he had problems
with Samba under TC4 and had to revert to TC3. You could download the monit extension and try it under
TC4 to see if it works. I see openssl-0.9.8-dev is listed as a dependency, you may need to download that too.
It's possible openssl-0.9.8-dev is a typo, he may have meant openssl-0.9.8.

Hi Rich,

I suddenly just finished a solution using crontab and shell script . I would love to try monit, from where can I download it? It can't be searched via tce-ab in core server, or even in its GUI counterpart.

Many thanks and Cheers!

Hi willowdan
You can use wget. Go to the bottom of this Wiki page:

Hi Rich,

Do you mean to get the generic monit file daemon from its website, and not to get monit.tcz, right?

Many thanks and cheers!

Hi willowdan
No, I meant get the tcz and dep files.
wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/monit.tcz
wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/monit.tcz.dep
etc.

[willowdan]

I was refering to [removed due to policy violation]/install-programs.html

But apparently after downloading via:

wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/monit.tcz
wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/monit.tcz.dep

.. and saving both files in /mnt/sda1/tce/optional folder and rebooting the core doesn't do anything to install monit.

Please help if I'm doing things right.

Many thanks and cheers!

It's probably a good idea to read up on the tinycore basics in the wiki.

You need to use the apps gui to load the monit extension - you can also set it "onboot" so it will load automatically from now on if required.

Hi willowdan
Sorry, you also need to add the line:

Code: [Select]

monit.tczto your  /mnt/sda1/tce/onboot.lst  file.
Or do what Juanito said.

Hi Juanito and Rich,

Appreciate your help. However, correct me if I'm wrong, I will still needing msmtp or postfix in core to utilize the notification module of monit, right?

Many thanks and cheers!

Hi willowdan
If you are looking for email alerts, probably yes.

Hi All,

Currently trying to install monit .. two requirements:

• openssl-0.9.8-dev
• Linux-PAM-dev

Will update once finished installing ...

Cheers!

Hi All,

I've successfully installed monit without using tce-ab. It was through the manual inclusion of monit.tcz in the onboot.lst and downloading of the following files into the "optional" folder via wget:

• wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/monit.tcz
• wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/monit.tcz.dep

Currently monit monitors a folder related to powering off a vm.

Cheers!
