Pg-Pcurse version 0.01

These libraries support pcurse(1), the script that monitors a Postgres database cluster, it shows statistics on tables, indexes, vacuuming, buffers, etc,.

USAGE

Documentation for usage is described inside the USAGE file, or in the pcurse(1) pod .

INSTALLATION

This module depends on Curses and Curses::Widgets . If you have problems installing them, it is probably you are missing the header files for libcurses. Debian-bases distributions will need the libncurses5-dev package:

$ apt-get install libncurses5-dev

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

This will also install the pcurse(1) script. The first thing you need to perform is to supply the correct parameter to pcurse(1) in order to connect to your Postgres server, something like this:

$ pcurse --host localhost --user john --passwd apple , or
$ pcurse -h localhost --password apple

pcurse(1) must connect to the Postgres server in order to do anything. At startup, pcurse(1) tests if your login is valid before executing any graphics that might mess up the terminal. I took great care not to mess up your screen; in the most unlikely event that the program exits abnormally and fails to restore the screen, you can always reset your terminal by typing 'reset'.
