       The ssmmookkeeppiinngg tool is the commandline part of the
       SmokePing system. Its main function is to run as a daemon
       and send Pings to all the Targets you have specified in
       the Config file. When you call ssmmookkeeppiinngg without arguments
       it will start as a daemon and do it's work.

       If called with an argument, then further functions can be
       activated, as seen in the Synopsis above. The ----eemmaaiill
       function is explained in the documentation on the config
       file.

       The ----mmaakkeeppoodd does get used internally to produce the doc-
       umentation on the SmokePing configuration file.

       Please refer to the installation document for detailed
       setup instructions.

SSEETTUUPP
       When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to
       fit your local system. Three paths have to be entered.

       One pointing to your rrrrddttooooll installation

        use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);

       One pointing to the place where you have installed the
       SmokePing libraries

        use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);

       The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::main com-
       mand. It points to the SmokePing configuration file.

        use Smokeping;
        Smokeping::main("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");
