This daemon is so nice to remotely check system performance.
It is a cross-platform there are apps for both iPhone and Android.
I'd consider compiling it myself but I thought it would be clever to check with you guys first.

Main target would be a LaCie 5big network 2.

FYU, I do have an add-on version of it running smoothly @ my "ReadyNAS Duo v1".

Yeap, before any funny comments, I do like challenges of "legacy" devices.

Looking forward to hearing back from y'all...

I had a look and compiled it for you, last version seems to be 5 years old...
Anyhow result you can find in the attached tar file you need to extract it in system root.
Code: Select all
tar -xvf istatd-1may16.tar -C /


You may need to experiment with it to get it running.
The daemon is compiled with setting that it looks for conf file in /etc
The archive also contains a default conf file

Code: Select all
root@fvdwsl-5big2:/ # istatd --help

usage: istatd [-a HOST] [-p PORT]

    -d                 run in background
    -h                 print this help text
    -v                 print version number

    -c FILE            custom config file location
    -a HOST            listen on this address
    -p PORT            listen on this port
    -u USER            change running user
    -g GROUP           change running group

    --pid=FILE         custom pid file location
    --cache=DIR        custom cache file location
    --socket=FILE      custom socket file location
    --code=CODE        custom lock code

root@fvdwsl-5big2:/ #


Let us know your results

Hey @fvdw, great hearing from you.
It was such a great surprise to know you've compiled it!
Here is the thing: I will install in into my server and then let you all know.

BTW, you have no idea how happy and well impressed I am with your NAS server! It's been such a great experience playing with it!
I mean, I've pushed and twisted to the limits and so far, very responsive!
Very proud of you guys!

Cheer,s
