💖 varmon(8) — the VA RAID monitor, bestie edition 💖

okay so welcome to the System Manager's Manual page for varmon(8) 🎀 yes that's the manual name, it's giving very "section 8, system administration, main character energy" and we're obsessed. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

varmon — a VA RAID monitor 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

varmon

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no arguments, no drama. she just goes. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents the varmon commands briefly — like a little teaser, not the full novel, yk? 🫶

varmon is a text-based tool to monitor DAC 960 RAID controllers. and when we say it monitors DAC 960 RAID controllers, we mean it covers:

  • Mylex RAID cards from the 960 and 1100 series 🎀
  • eXteremeRAID 2000 & 3000 ✨
  • AcceleRAID 352 & 170 💜

(and yes, eXteremeRAID is spelled exactly like that, no we are not fixing it, it's iconic, it ate 🍽️)

okay now the lore: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, and the reason is lowkey funny — the original program does not have a manual page. nope. nothing. so instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. 📖

bestie note: "see below" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here because the actual Info docs live in the SEE ALSO section, so keep scrolling, you got this 💖

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

all the documentation is available in directory /usr/share/doc/varmon/. 📂✨ like, all of it. go look. she's right there.
