Hi,
I’m looking for some software so I can monitor my openSUSE 11.0 server from Windows Vista.
Anyone who knows any good software? Hopefully free.
Monitor?? How do mean exactly?
Do you mean remote desktop.
Nope not that. I dont know exactly, but some software so I can check like, uptime, status, cpu, memory usage without going through remote desktop. It would be cool so im jsut checking if that excits.
No idea mate.
Doesn’t sound likely though.
Hi
You could look at using snmp, Nagios is great but requires
configuration or Centreon - Revisited
Experience Of Nagios - Web Site.

Can Vista run a script?
That is, write a script automatically connects to the server (by ssh, maybe) and
run (for example) ‘up’ (for uptime), top (for memory and cpu usage), maybe
something to report temperatures and whatever else you want (that is, I don’t
know what you mean by “status”) and display the results your Vista, or send you
and email, or post it to a web site on the apache it runs, or send a smoke
signal or . . .
I’ve not used Windows for years but I think you could even connect that script
to an icon on the desktop so that each time you click it, it reports. Or, you
could build the script to check (say) every 5 minutes (or seconds, or days) and
report.
Have you checked at sourceforge.org? That is, have a look at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcheck/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yamoon/
(I was only there five minutes for you, so those may not be what you need and
certainly are not all that is available.)
Or Google?
For our users running Windows that need to monitor our Linux servers they install putty and we use xosview, xosview home page
We have an entry in a directory for each server which we have set each launcher up correctly, ssh -Y IPADDRESS_OF_SERVER xosview. When they want to see the stats for the server they just launch the icon which is ran in putty. Very simple setup.
You mean remote control ???
I use ssh to conect to my openSUSE when I am not with it.
from any windows , with the help of putty. in the putty terminal, or ssh terminal, you can use YaST. Easy enough.
no more software, just a putty do it, of course a network.
what is more? try to use Webmin. But I do think that ssh is enough, safe and easy.rotfl!
Yes, putty is the easiest way, and if you want to use scripts on Vista, I recommend plink.exe. You can use plink in batch scripts.
