Supermon Menu and Node Configuration

The /srv/http/allmon.ini file has the ability to add items to the top menu. As you can see below a portion of the allmon.ini file can have labels and actions for any URL local or remote. The labels can be anything, the action has to do something correctly. Suppose you wanted to add a link to Ham Radio outlet so you could buy equipment at a moments notice while viewing your node’s statue! It would look like this –

[HRO]
url=”http://www.hamradio.com”
menu=yes

You can also add custom headings with drop-down menus. The following example shows how to add a
Display Group. Each node (only a few are shown) has an entry of “system=Nodes”. Then as shown, dropdowns are created for All Nodes, Hubs, Public Nodes, Private Nodes, and Echolink Node. Each of these have a line “system=Display Group”. The screen shot below shows the resulting drop-down menu that is created.
