Hi Monks,

I have mysql health chek script on my local machine. I run the script which connects to a remote mysql databases and fetches mysql variables.However i want to fetch the OS parameters like free memory,total RAM of the remote machine.Both the local and host machine are linux based.I have read abt NET::SSH on CAPN however i was unable to find a simple script which shows me the commands or steps to do the connection.Please let me know which NET::?? module to use.Can anybody add the connection code to my script. I would really appreciate this.
