GKrellDnet is a Distributed.net client monitor
plugin for GKrellM. I wrote
this plugin because there are many such apps for Seti@Home client
but none for Distributed.net
...
- a Linux or FreeBSD system. It could work on
other BSD variant but I have not tested it.
- a working distributed.net client.
- GKrellM (2.0 or better) the great
multi-monitor application.
- Support the new absolute crunch-o-meter style. Nice
for OGR contest (fig. 2)
-
Support new
Distributed.net client (v2.8011 and up).
-
Configurable command launched on every packet completion (suggested by
Ari Pollak).
-
Configurable text output format.
-
Monitor current contest, work units in input/output buffers and
progress in current block/stub.
-
Start/Stop the dnet client on mouse button click.
-
Support for multi-processors system (up to 10 CPU).
Warning: Starting from version 0.9, dnetw no longer need a
<monitor
file> on the command line. So if you DO NOT start dnetw from the
GKrellM
plugin, YOU NEED to remove the <monitor file> from the command
line.
Warning 2: If you are using an older dnet client and dnetw
(0.6.1 or newer) be sure to add '-o' option in 'dnetw' command line.
In fig. 1, you can see
the plugin running (above CPU chart).
The client is working on a OGR
stub, 36% is already done and there is 1 work unit in the input buffer
and
0 in the output buffer.
Fig. 2 shows the new absolute
mode, 73.94 Gnodes is already done in the current OGR stub.
Here
is a screenshot (17k) of my GkrellDnet config.
The lastest stable
version is GKrellDnet
0.14.3 (ChangeLog).
If you are still using GKrellM 1.2.x, you should download GKrellDnet
0.10
- Copy the client wrapper 'dnetw' somewhere in
your path. The Distributed.net client 'dnetc' must also be in
your path.
- Check that the client do not
redirect output to a file. If you want to log the client activity you
should
use the '-l' option of the wrapper.
- Try the wrapper from the
shell,
type 'dnetw dnetw.log' and you must get the
standard client output.
- Copy the GKrellM plugin
either in the system wide plugin directory or in your personnal plugin
directory (~/.gkrellm/plugins/).
- Look at 'Info' tab in the
plugin configuration for more info about the plugin settings.
Q: When I try to run 'dnetw' I
get the message: "shmget: File exists" ?
That means that 'dnetw' can't create his
shared memory segment.
First check that there is no other 'dnetw' running. You can only run
one 'dnetw'.
Then check that the file '/tmp/dnetw-shmid' do not exist. You can
remove it only if there is no 'dnetw' running.
If the previous conditions are meet and you are using GKrellDnet v0.9
or less, please upgrade to GKrellDnet v0.10 or better.
- support for other Unix systems (NetBSD,
OpenBSD, OSX, ...). As I don't have access to those systems, please
contact me if you want to help me. You don't need to be a C expert.
- support the new 'live-rate'
style crunch-o-meter.
- add multiple local/remote
clients monitoring.
- add perproxy monitoring ?
