What do I need ?

- a linux or unix machine running 24/7
- awk and wget
- apache webserver allowing ExecCGI (or any other webserver)
- rrdtool >= 1.2.0
- RRDs and POSIX perl libraries


Installation steps

- if you want to monitor cities outside of the USA, find the international city code by searching on weather.com
  By searching for "Mons, Belgium" I'm pointed to this URL : http://www.weather.com/weather/local/BEXX0014?from=search_city
  The city code is BEXX0014, always keep this code in mind while setting up RRDweather

- unzip the files to the directory of your choice (e.g. : /usr/local/rrdweather)

- edit "db_builder.sh", "db_update.sh" and "weather.cgi" to fit your location, needs and configuration

- NEW USER ONLY, skip this step if you are updating : execute db_builder.sh to create the RRD databases. This should be run only once.

- add this line to your personal cron :

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/rrdweather/db_update.sh

- copy "weather.cgi" to a cgi-bin folder on your webserver
  If you monitor several cities, you need to have several cgi files properly configured

- after a few minutes, you should see graphs at http://yourdomain.tld/cgi-bin/weather.cgi
