| ''mondump'' is a program based on the PCFS ''monit2'' software that retrieves monitoring information and sends it to a central server. The information is used by scheduling software to decide how to use the telescope. ''mondump'' can be run from the command line or via a PCFS procedure (e.g. ''midob'') if desired, but it is called regularly by [[development:dynamicobserving:dysched|dysched.pl]] to keep the server up to date. | ''mondump'' is a program based on the PCFS ''monit2'' software that retrieves monitoring information and sends it to a central server.
