       /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cricket/grapher.cgi

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.

SEE ALSO

       The programs are documented fully by various HTML documents available via the help system,
       or directly in /usr/share/doc/cricket.
