Re: {bb} Checking runlevel

[Daniel O Winkless <wink@usgs.gov>]

The "procs" test can look
for processes that should NOT be running.  You can make BB go yellow
or red if the X login process is running.

I assume this is Linux.  Not all "who" commands support the "-r".

I can understand wanting to run X.  But why not login under ASCII terminal and run "startx"? That will provide the X environment, but leave the system at init 3.  When the user exits, so will the X environment.  Then no need to change run levels.

Looks like you could custom develop a script to monitor and process the
output of "who -r" and awk out the run level.  Put that
into a script to run every 5, and flag the BB Display accordingly.  Just
my 2 cents!  :o)

All -

 I was wondering if anyone already has a method to check the current
runlevel of a bbclient.  I have boxes that are normally in runlevel
3,
but sometimes we put them in runlevel 5 to access X.  If someone leaves
a server in runlevel 5, I would like BB to notice.

 I don't see anything on the BB archive or deadcat that addresses this.

 Thanks!
