Zoneminder on Eeepc i386 kali-2023.1

Eeepc hotel room monitoring works with these settings still:

https://digitalsatori2015.blogspot.com/2016/07/zoneminder-on-1001x-eepc.html

5fps is a bit much for the eepc so set it to 2.  model name      : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455   @ 1.66GHz

Doesn't work with selinux enabled.  Disabled auditd for speed.

Works with  same GUI settings from before in earlier blog post.

HOWEVER sometimes image is very dim now.  Setting to capture more than 1 frame at a time seems to help but problem keeps coming back.  Goes away for awhile after changing frame settings.

rc.local on kali2020

I love old school /etc/rc.local files to run scripts at boot.
This fixes some bugs from the last one I posted.  Still learning systemd...

hddtemp + gkrellm

Here is how I got gkrellm to show my hard drive temperatures on kali2.

apt-get -y install hddtemp gkrellm*

edit /etc/default/hddtemp set RUN_DAEMON="true"
update-rc.d hddtemp enable
/etc/init.d/hddtemp start still didnt start in daemon mode,

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359129 shows you have to run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp
I set it in suid mode and to run in daemon mode, then ran /etc/init.d/hddtemp start and it kept running:

# ps aux | grep hdd
root     25386  0.0  0.0   6308  1968 ?        S    18:07   0:00 /usr/sbin/hddtemp -d -l 127.0.0.1 -p 7634 -s | -S 600 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc

testing it: # telnet localhost 7634

next I try gkrellm-hddtemp: http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.php

$ make

Type 'make gkrellm1' and then 'make install1'
  or 'make gkrellm2' and then 'make install2'

$ dpkg -l gkrellm

ii  gkrellm        2.3.6~rc1-1  amd64        GNU Krell Monitors

so I want make install2

$ make gkrellm2

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wl’

googling "gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wl’"  I find:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33114509/gcc-error-unrecognized-command-line-option-wl-in-makfile

so I try to compile it with Wall instead of Wl and it works:

$~/dev/gkrellm-hddtemp-0.2-beta$ gcc -shared -Wall -o gkrellm-hddtemp.so gkrellm-hddtemp.o

$ sudo make install2
install -d /root/.gkrellm2/plugins/
install gkrellm-hddtemp.so /root/.gkrellm2/plugins/

then I run it again as my normal user since it seems to be using ~/.gkrellm2 instead of some dir in /etc, and restart gkrellm:

I see hddtemp in the plugins list and enabling it shows 3 boxes with temperatures.  Success!

Now how to make gkrellm show smartd status?
