DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the programs associated with Cricket.

       cricket-compile
              The  cricket-compile  program  compiles  the  Cricket config tree (found in /etc/cricket) into the
              format read by the collector. It is normally run after editing the files in the  config  tree.  No
              options are needed.

       collector
              The  collector  program  reads a Cricket configuration from /etc/cricket, compiled by the cricket-
              compile command, and collects and stores data according to the information  found  there.   It  is
              normally run periodically from a cron(8) job.

       grapher.cgi
              grapher.cgi is a CGI program to display the data collected by Cricket in a graphical format. It is
              usually   accessed   using   a   web   browser,   e.g.   using   the   URL   http://localhost/cgi-
              bin/cricket/grapher.cgi.   It  will  allow you to navigate around all of the targets in the config
              tree.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does  not
       have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in the HTML format; see below.
