you running the new version. If you do not continue the upgrade, the radio will continue to boot from
the old image.
Starutil has a number of other commands, but some of these commands are not available to version 3 of
StarOS, at least not yet. For example, getting the status of wireless connections is not supported.

You can use snmp in a number of ways if you have it turned on. Some of you will be familiar with the
UNIX command line snmpwalk to get information from your systems for statistical purposes, or just to
see if the system is up. One quick tip is to create a file with the IP of each radio (radio.txt) and run the
following from a UNIX command line on a system with snmpwalk installed:
for i in `cat radios.txt`;do x=`snmpwalk -c public -v 2c $i sysUpTime`; y=`echo $x|
cut -d: -f4-6`;echo $i $y;done
Note that the above is one line. Using this it's easy to see at a glance when a radio has recently reboot.
The radio.txt file and command line can be easily modified to provide InOctets/OutOctets on a
particular interface, or any of a number of other parameters that change over time. Saving this
information to file or database makes it easy to gather whatever statistics you want. Graphs are easily
created using rrdtool.
