- GKrellM Multiping Plugin
- Author: Jindrich Makovicka
- Homepage: http://kmlinux.fjfi.cvut.cz/~makovick/gkrellm/
- Multiping plugin can send pings to several hosts at once and display
- thir round trip time and host status - it indicates lossless
- connection, packet loss and unreachable host with green, red or dark
- LED lights.
- Installation:
- make
- make install (as root)
- By default, the plugin is installed into
- /usr/local/lib/gkrellm2/plugins . if you want to change it, modify the
- INSTALLDIR variable in the Makefile.
- --- SECURITY WARNING ---
- Multiping needs to open a raw socket for sending and receiving of the
- ICMP packets. For this reason, it consists of two parts - GKrellM
- plugin with normal privileges, and helper application (pinger), which
- is based on the code of linux "ping" and which starts with superuser
- privileges. However, these privileges are dropped immediately, so even
- in the case of a security flaw in the code, the attacker can gain at
- most the access to the raw socket and the should not be able to
- compromise the system.
