Client Installation
You have the option of installing the client-side files required to run LibMON on a client computer disk.
This will improve the performance of client computers with slower connections to the server. LibMON runtime
performance is greatly enhanced by having the necessary files resident on the client disk.
Users must first download the LibMON Java jar file (about 1 MB). As Sun releases future versions
of LibMON, you will need to repeat the Client Installation process for all client computers running this
software. Failure to do so will result in undetermined behavior.
Use the following link to download LibMON's client software, then
follow the instructions below.
Download Client Installation Jar File
Note: If the previous link causes the jar file to be loaded into the browser
rather than prompting to be saved to disk, try shift-clicking or right-clicking (depending on your
browser and operating system) to save the link to disk.
Client Installation Instructions
Note: The following instructions are general purpose and are not specific to any particular browser. Please refer to the LibMON product release notes for any browser specific idioms.
Note: To deinstall LibMON on the client host machine, delete the SUNWlmon.jar file and remove the reference to it from the CLASSPATH environment variable using the platform specific mechanisms described below.
Solaris 2.5+ and Solaris 2.6
- Download the LibMON Java jar file. Verify the file is named SUNWlmon.jar.
- Move the SUNWlmon.jar file to a directory where you wish to store your Java jar and class files.
- Set or append the CLASSPATH environment variable to include the directory path where you've placed SUNWlmon.jar. For example, in csh this would be:
setenv CLASSPATH /directory_path/SUNWlmon.jar
- Restart your browser.
Windows NT 4.0 and above
- Download the LibMON Java jar file. Verify the file is named SUNWlmon.jar.
- Move the SUNWlmon.jar file to a directory where you wish to store your Java jar and class files.
- Go to System Properties in the Control Panel and select the Environment tab.
- Select the CLASSPATH variable (if it already exists) or create a new CLASSPATH variable in the Variable text field.
- Set or append the value of the text field to include:
C:\directory_path\SUNWlmon.jar
- Select the Set button. Then press the Press the OK button to exit the System Properties.
- Restart your browser.
Windows 95
- Download the LibMON Java jar file. Verify the file is named SUNWlmon.jar.
- Move the SUNWlmon.jar file to a directory where you wish to store your Java jar and class files.
- Edit the autoexec.bat file in the root directory. You will need to set or append the CLASSPATH environment
variable. For example, you would add the following line to your autoexec.bat file:
set CLASSPATH=C:\directory_path\SUNWlmon.jar
- Save the modified autoexec.bat file and reboot your Windows 95 computer.
- Restart your browser.
