MUNIN-CHECK(8)

πŸ’– MUNIN-CHECK πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is munin-check from the Munin docs, section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin-y one, iykyk). Buckle up, it's short but it's important. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

munin-check β€” a lil program that fixes the permissions of your Munin directories and files. that's it. that's the whole job. and it does it flawlessly. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

munin-check [--options]

yep. that's the whole vibe. run it, hand it some options, let it cook. πŸ”₯


✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help β€” shows you the usage info, like a polite little angel 🫢. literally just tells you how to use it.
  • -f, --fix-permissions β€” the main character option fr fr. this one actually fixes the permissions of the munin dirs and files. no cap. πŸ‘‘

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so munin-check is a utility that fixes the permissions of the munin directories and files. it's giving "permission therapist" energy β€” it shows up, it sorts out the drama, it leaves. 🧚

⚠️ note: munin-check needs superuser rights. like, actual root. so do the sudo thing, bestie, or it literally cannot do its job. πŸ”
πŸ›‘ also note: please don't use this script if you're using graph_strategy cgi! it doesn't care about the right permissions for www-data yet... so yeah, it would not be slaying in that setup, it would be ✨ chaos ✨. consider yourself warned. πŸ’€
