[Orca-users] Orca on Redhat EL30

[Kocic, Dejan]

Cynthia,

Step 11 of the Install doc that comes with source tarball says this:

11) Run Orca.

    Log into the system that will run Orca and run the command:

    % cd $prefix
    % ./bin/orca -v CONFIG_FILE

   If you are using orcallator.se, then this command will be

    % cd $prefix
    % ./bin/orca -v lib/orcallator.cfg

So I am wondering where did you get the info (step 11) you sent? Similar
to what you sent, /orca-0.27/contrib/procallator/install.sh will do what
you wrote, that's how I got it to work.

Regards,
Dejan Kocic

When collecting data on a Linux machine, you use the data collector
"procallator" which reads stats from /proc pseudo-filesystem. See step
11 in the INSTALL doc. Basics are:
 
       % make procallator_run_at_boot 
    
and     
       % /etc/rc.d/init.d/procallator start
