* pandora_agents/tools
           pandora_agents/linux/plugins
           pandora_agents/mac_osx/plugins: Moved tools into the plugin sections of compatible agents. The plugins in subdirectories have dependencies that can be found in the README file while plugins directly in the directory can be used directly when Pandora agent prerequisites are met (Perl & Bash)

        * pandora_agents/mac_osx/pandora_user.conf
           pandora_agents/mac_osx/plugins/ppc_sensors: Moved pandora_user.conf into the new plugins section

        * pandora_server/pandora_server_installer: Refined the installer so that it doesn't try installing certain parts on systems (usually non-Linux) that don't support cronjobs or /etc/init.d startup. It will just fail with a message for now. Also updated the error messages that appear so that they are more clear (eg. what Perl modules and how to use cpan).

README.txt

This is a simple script that could be called from within pandora_user.conf
It will call an IPMI-capable host (IP-address) and acquire it's sensors, then parse them into an understandable XML file for Pandora FMS.

Make sure you set up a the correct name for the agent configuration if the monitoring is done from another host than the one the IPMI chip is located at.

This script might not work and has only been tested so far against an Intel-based Apple XServe but the script is built up so it should acquire any.

ipmitool and php (tested 5, 4 should work too) is required on the machine the agent is running on.
