Here's some instructional or unusually interesting links about GKrellM:
- Mike Edwards wrote a PHP library useful for PHP developers who want to get information out of a gkrellmd server.
- William Stearns' gkrellmd over SSH tutorial.
- Christopher Carey shows how you can even monitor a TiVo with gkrellmd.
- And Bryson Borg has done a similar gkrellmd port for a firmware modified Linksys WRT54G router.
GKrellM requires Gtk+ 2.4 or newer.
The GKrellM server (gkrellmd) requires only GLib 2.32 or newer and may be installed on servers that do not have Gtk+ or X11. See the INSTALL file.
