Speaking of your brother, how's he doing on the Linux version of your monitor?
If you need a beta tester, let me know. (I hope it's an executable, I don't know Linux very well and have never compiled a program or kernel or whatever you call it, LOL.)
It's actually complete. I'm in the process (between pesky real-life work) of genericizing it (is that a word), and coming up with a list of requirements and instructions.
Unfortunately, Linux doesn't come with a built-in scripting language powerful enough to handle what I need, so we had a choice of PHP or Perl. My brother chose PHP because it's more likely to be part of the wider install base and, where it isn't, requires less additional modules/customizations to implement.
As it is, he's come up with the following list of prerequisite modules:
I'll be working on tweaking the script, and updating the help page this evening.
OK. Linux version is up at the Help Page-- which has been rewritten to accomodate both flavors. ...well, I'm still working on the scheduling section.
I'm going to be pretty limited in my ability to support the Linux side, as I'm a novice user, and my brother has made it pretty clear that he's no longer in a support career path...
