What you'll find in the tgz-file
The package consists of 'clewaretool' - the tool to manage the Cleware devices under Linux.
Also you'll find in the 'examples'-directory a couple of scripts:
- a script to generate graphs using RRDtool
- a script for nagios that monitores the temperature and raises an alarm if something goes wrong
- a startup script for RHEL/SLES/Debian/Ubuntu which starts the watchdog functionality
And since version 2.4 also libraries for Perl and Python are included.
The readme.txt file also describes how to use the program with each kind of device.
