Monitors btrfs mounts and device stats, and reports should that be needed.
The program will keep track of all mounts for you and report them to stdout, syslog, and the other notifiers if there are any changes at all. Changes meaning mounts added or removed, devices added or removed, and stats of these devices changed.
For notifying outside of syslog and stdout fward uses apprise.. A config file by default: /var/fward/config/notifiers.conf(FWARD_NOTIFIER_FILE).
It is recommended to add fward to for example crontab like this:
# Example of job definition:
# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# | .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
# | | | | |
# * * * * * user-name command to be executed
* * * * * root /usr/local/bin/fward
make.sh can be called to make a singular executable.
The base will always scan and report.
