Updating Nagios package

Today at last I have updated the Nagios package which was delayed from quit sometime.

Updating was quite transparent, only the index.php page has been replaced. Actually instead of displaying the default Nagios index page I have changed it to display the "Host Group Summary" page to all using Nagios web UI.

So all I have to do to change

/usr/share/nagios/index.php (path might be different if installed from source)

frame src="main.php" name="main" frameborder="0"

To

frame src="/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=summary" name="main" frameborder="0"

Sunday is family day

Its Sunday so like every Sunday its family day. On Sunday night i usually watch movie but due to ramadan karim I am not watching movies.
Yesterday i was watching news and then while checking email found an email from Pat (founder of Slackware, a oldest serviving Linux distro). Wow Pat and team released Slackware 13.0 in 2009-08-27.
Its always nice to see Pat working hard and releasing the stable versions of slackware.
Slackware is my favourite Linux distro, and i used it exclusively as my home and work desktop OS for almost 3 years.
However due to work nature (need to work more) got switched to Fedora. Switching off from Slackware doesn't mean that I do not like it. I learn Linux with slackware, and I am still a proud slacker :)
Well Fedora is bit easier to maitain and installing packages is also easy using YUM.

Ayesha wake up in Peshmani

Today at the time of Peshmanay my daughter Ayesha wake up, normally she sleeping at that time while me and my wife talk our food. Well long story short then she wants us to play and listen to her :)
It took another hour and half when she again went sleep.

Ayesah is almost 11 month old now and she is getting very naughty and its very hard for both of us to keep and eye on her not just an eye but these age babies require a very close watch and i am thinking to monitor her via Nagios http://www.nagios.org :)

Love Open Source

I love open source, not because this community provide free and the best software but bcoz they way this community works. I wish one day all the evil IT empires will open source there fat ass softwares.

Monitoring

You either fight fires all day, or build a flame resistant structure. Monitoring is the smoke detector. Notification is the alarm system. Fireman, or Fire Marshall - take your pick...

If you are not monitoring, then you are not managing.

I almost forget to talk about my daughter, whom is the centre of gravity these days.
I wonders how smart she is getting day by day, while we (me and my wife) sit during the iftar she is the one to handle :)
She tries to get her hands to each pot she see and if Ayesha got spoon in her hands then its drums all around.
Ayesha mother wait till I come back from work so that she could start working in the kitchen and i could look after Ayesha.
We father and daughter went out after the prayers of Asar. Ayesha loves going out (probably she got bored staying at home all day).

Its the Holy month of Ramadan and during this month we fast. Tell you what I got too lazy coz of level of energy :)
As Allah says this month is for me so we fast with devotion to get all out of the this holy month in term of recetation of Quran, praying 5 times (this we do the whole year), the prayers of travis.
After the whole day of fasting its really a blessing when one Iftar, this is the real time to thanks Allah for all his givings.
During the month of Ramadan one could realize for can imagine a bit the feelings of one who's hungry.
This month is the month of brotherhood, love, devotion.
