Hi all,
|
|
|
|
[PLEASE READ THE FILE ``README.LATEST'' FOR LATEST NEWS]
|
|
|
|
this is the latest alpha version of libgtop, a library that fetches
|
|
information about the running system such as cpu and memory usage,
|
|
active processes etc. On Linux systems, these information are taken
|
|
directly from the /proc filesystem. For other systems such as Solaris,
|
|
where such programs need to be suid root (or only setgid kmem/mem on
|
|
some systems), it provides a suid/setgid server that fetches those
|
|
information and a client-side library that talks to this server.
|
|
|
|
Main idea was to have the same interface for all operating systems,
|
|
thus all system dependent details are hidden in the implementation
|
|
of that server.
|
|
|
|
Currently, it only works for Linux, documentation on how to port it
|
|
to other systems is on the way. I'm planning to keep this site an
|
|
up-to-date mirror of my local machine (which is connected to the
|
|
internet over some expensive dialup connection, so I'll upload it about
|
|
once every day I made significant changes) so that you can always find
|
|
the latest version of the software here.
|
|
|
|
I've written a simple guile interface for the library to show which
|
|
information it can already fetch. See examples/third for details.
