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:
