/* ---------------------------------------- */
wmavgload - Another WindowMaker load gauge
/* ---------------------------------------- */
VERSION 0.7.0
RELEASE DATE: September 28, 1998
AUTHOR : Anthony MALLET, mallet@laas.fr, adapted from
wmload by Rian Land (see original README below)
...
- Well, it's finally there. Did you still expect some new release ?
- Buffer owerflow fix from Chris Radek.
- More efficient polling loop that does no longer affect Larry
'Daffy' Daffner's load ;) (patch from himself).
- Multiple platform support from Geir Inge Jesen (NetBSD), Branko
Cibej (HPUX), Nagai Takayuki (DigitalUnix 4.0), Kenji Aoyama and
Chris Radek (same patch for FreeBSD :). No one sent me an OpenBSD
patch, hopefully I'm there with my brand new OpenBSD box :).
VERSION 0.6.1
RELEASE DATE: December 10, 1997
- Removed a stupid compile-time bug.
- Added -DMANY_COLORS to compile with the full_color xpm
- Thanks to John Kennis and Jeff Meininger for feedback !
VERSION 0.6.0
RELEASE DATE: December 2, 1997
- Added support for Sun/Solaris. It uses rstat and
I'd like to know if other platforms support it as
well.
- The load average is really integrated over 5 secs.
The two other bars display the load integrated over
30 and 60 secs respectively.
TODO:
Learn how to speak good english ;)
VERSION 0.5.0
RELEASE DATE: November 25, 1997
- Changes in the load algorithms and graphx
according to the TODO list of wmload :)
The load is read from /proc/loadavg
The main part shows the standard avg load
(integrated over 5 secs ??)
Two bars on the left show the two other values
found in /proc/loadavg (integrated over ... ??)
- Still to be seriously tested while no major
problems should arise !
TODO :
?? well, tell me !
****************************************************
ORIGINAL README FILE
****************************************************
>================================================<
wmload - WindowMaker load gauge
Updated, cleaned up and "fixed"
==================================================
VERSION: 0.9.2
RELEASE DATE: 17 July 1997
-Minor cosmetic changes.
The graph zone is now perfectly square, 54x54.
<I didn't like it's odd width! (;-)>
-All values dealing with pixmap size have been
adjusted to accomodate the new `look'.
VERSION: 0.9.1
RELEASE DATE: 8 July 1997
-Uses correct ordering of PROC data.
-Increases the differentiation between tones,
just a smidgion.
-Catches a "Once In A Blue Moon" condition.
Under various circumstances rounding error
results in a pixel count of 55 or 53.
To prevent the 55 count from writing one
pixel into the edge of the frame, wmload
now catches these occurrences and corrects
for them.
VERSION: 0.9.0
RELEASE DATE: 6 July 1997
-Fixed the grayscale problem that occurred
whenever the "-shape" argument was used.
-Implemented the "-led" argument...
...the last release had the argument,
however it wasn't implemented...
...ie: it did nothing.
Called without the "-led" argument, wmload
uses it's default color "LightSeaGreen"
[which is the same as the asclock readout].
Called with the argument, it uses the
named color. If the default color is
unavailable, or the named color is invalid,
wmload simply uses the 3 green tones
found in the "back.xpm" pixmap.
-Added a "-ver" argument...
When used, it prints the current version
on stdout. If it is called alone with no
other arguments, wmload exits after
printing its' version. Called with other
arguments... wmload prints its' version
and continues as normal.
-Trapped bad arguments that don't start
with "-".
-Cleaned up the code a bit.
-Removed unnecessary files from the
distribution. <kept README's though>
NOTE:
This is a load monitor which is designed
to work with the PROC filesystem. Generally
all Linux systems come with the PROC fs.
If you're using a different Unix and it
doesn't have the PROC fs, first see if
there is one available... otherwise this
monitor won't work!
Work is currently underway to produce a
more `portable' wmload that Solaris/Sun/HP etc.
users can also enjoy.
INSTALL:
1. Check the Imakefile to see if all the
LIBS are ok for your system.
ALSO, check DESTDIR and BINDIR; as they
are now, a `make install' will put the
wmload binary in /usr/local/bin.
2. `xmkmf'
3. `make'
4. `make install'
5. Enjoy!!!! (;-)
SUGGESTED INVOCATION (for WindowMaker!):
`wmload -shape -withdrawn &'
OR for a different graph color:
`wmload -led ??? -shape -withdrawn &'
...replace "???" with a color name
eg. green, red, orange, yellow, orchid, purple....
any of your systems standard X color symbols.
SUGGESTED INVOCATION (for AfterStep):
To load wmload in Wharf, add a line in .steprc:
*Wharf wmload nil MaxSwallow "wmload" wmload -led green -shape &
...or to run it as a normal app: wmload -led "???" &
NOTE: AfterStep doesn't require the "-withdrawn" option.
AVAILABILITY:
The latest release should be available from:
ftp://afterstep.foo.net/pub/apps/wmload/
http://www.bc1.com/users/rland/
TODO LIST:
-Implement alternative `load' algorithms?
LIABILITY & USABILITY:
As usual, this software is bound by the
GNU public license. You can use it however
you see fit, as long as all the README's
accompany any copy/version of it.
THE KIND SOLES WHO HAVE WRITTEN/CONTRIBUTED
TO THIS SOFTWARE, IN NO WAY ACCEPT LIABILITY
OR ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE USE OF, OR FOR

...that having been said, I think you'll
like this new version and shouldn't have
problems with it. Happy load monitoring!
