RFS: downtimed (squeeze-backports)
Dear all,
I am offering a backporting of the most recent 'downtimed',
should the developers still find the package useful in the
stable release.
Package name : downtimed
Version : 0.5-1
Upstream Author : EPIPE Communications <opensource@epipe.com>
URL : http://dist.epipe.com/downtimed/
License : FreeBSD
Section : admin
It builds a single binary package:
downtimed - monitor of downtime, shutdown, and crashes
The package appears to be pedantically lintian clean.
The motivation was and still is:
Having a handful systems for development, all being
brought up and then down irregularly, makes the usefulness
of a monitor of shutdown times become clear. Almost more
important is such a monitor on mission critical systems,
in order to accurately record any service failure time.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/downtimed
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/downtimed/downtimed_0.5-1.dsc
Time can be a plentiful commodity,
depending on expectations!
Mats Erik Andersson, DM
