nsc installation
================

See the man-page (nsc.doc) for the requirements to run nsc.


Installing from the .tar.gz kit
-------------------------------
To install nsc, run the inclosed install.sh script. It needs write permission
to the target install location - by default /usr/local or $HOME - but you can
install anywhere by specifying a different directory:

   ./install.sh /tmp

The above will:
 - Install nsc, perl modules, etc. in /tmp/nsc/
 - Install the man-page to /tmp/man/man1 (if man1 exists)
 - Offer to create a link (or small shellscript) in /tmp/bin/

To do a quick test-run before installing, you can use the
enclosed example status.log - run nsc as: 

   ./nsc.pl nag1-status.log

This won't give you the live display from Nagios, of course.

After you have run nsc for the first time, you may want to edit
your ~/.nsc.conf and set the path for the Nagios status.log-file,
adjust colours and such.



Installing the rpm package
--------------------------
The rpm package is installed with:

   rpm -Uvh nsc-VERSION.rpm

After installation, run nsc from the rpm package:

   /usr/bin/nsc

If this works as advertised, you can remove any old nsc files:

   rm -rf /usr/local/nsc /usr/local/bin/nsc

The files from the rpm are installed to /usr/lib - if you have a
previous installation from the .tar.gz kit, the old version of nsc stays in
/usr/local/nsc, until you remove it by hand.
