istat Client

It is a client for the istatd service from bjango. The Protocol has implementations for Mac and Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD. Therefore I implemented a simple client in ruby.

Just install the gem using:

sudo gem install istat

Connect to an istat server with this sample code:

client = Istat::Client.new("example.com", 5109, "secret")
client.start do |session|
  begin
    response = session.fetch
    p response.cpu
    sleep 1
  end while true
end

Write tests, fork, write issues, ...

If you want to hack on the client, here is the way to start the tests:

TEST_SERVER=istat://any:secret@example.com:5109/ rspec spec

Replace secret, and example.com with your code and host.
