# The Internet monitor defaults to reading tcp connections once per second.
# However, for Linux SMP kernels where reading /proc/net/tcp causes high
# cpu usage, the inet-interval may be set to 1-20 seconds to slow down

# reported sensors if this is uncommented and the port-numbers match.
#
#mbmon-port port-number

# Configure gkrellm clients to disconnect from a gkrellmd server if
# there is an io-timeout seconds interval where the client receives no input
# from the server.  Use this for conditions where gkrellmd may be
# ungracefully terminated such that socket connections are not closed.
# Minimum is 2 (less than 2 for no I/O disconnecting and is the default).
# Requires at least 2.1.8 versions of both gkrellmd and gkrellm.
#
#io-timeout 5

# Configure gkrellm clients to attempt automatic reconnects to a
# gkrellmd server every reconnect-timeout seconds after a disconnected
# state is detected.  Disconnected states are created by normal gkrellmd
# shutdowns or by an expiring io-timeout.

# install process (note: the detach option is ignored when using -plog).
#
#plugin-enable gkrelltop
#plugin-enable next-plugin

# Configure gkrellmd to send the connect time for a network interface
# to all clients to be displayed in the client gkrellm timer button
# monitor display.  If this is done, the client gkrellm timer button can
# to all clients to be displayed in the client gkrellm timer button
# monitor display.  If this is done, the client gkrellm timer button can
# still execute commands on the client, but the button will not affect the
# timer display.  If you want the client timer button to execute commands
# on the server, your timer button commands will have to use sudo.
# So set this if your server box has a ppp or ippp connection and you
# want to monitor its connect time.
