Yamm is like top. Allow renice, kill, it have a new bar-chart load monitor
displays lot of system and processes informations.
Try it!
The changes in this release are:
o Revised and updated man page.
o NEW! Bar chart graphic rapresentation of system load average.
'L' || -L option. Present only in (n)curses version.
o No more crazy regex memory allocation in /proc version of yamm (linux)
o Resolved the problem of line wrapping when the CMD is too long.
o Added a new char in the status field, that notice you when a process
run at a non ZERO nice.
o Added a top-level Makefile (after so long time I have decided to write it
down :)
o src/Configure let you choose f/b colors when using ncurses package.
o 'I' || -I option debugged and popped up.
o bug fixes all around.
o code cleanups all around.
Notes:
- I have compiled yamm with ELF compiler and it is okay. You need of course
an ELF ncurses library if you want to use ncurses :)
To compile yamm with ELF compiler you should edit the src/Makefile and
substitute the CC=gcc line with CC=gcc-elf
- Read the README of previous releases.
- There's still a regex bug that eats some memory whenever one make some kind
of search ('/' command), but I'm confident I will track it down :)
- The ncurses-1.8.6 hack works with ncurses-1.8.7 too.
Bugs:
yamm-2.5.4 is ready for release, but I have a problem:
my HPUX system (v.9.04) seems to broke yamm. I think there was some
kind of stupid action when my sysadmins ugraded system the last time.
Something like <sys/pstat.h> older or newer than the kernel.
I don't know why, but the pst_status structure seems to be broken. I know
this is impossible, but yamm don't work under HP-UX. I have compiled
versions of yamm known to work under older HP-UX and seems they are broken too.
I need someone that compile yamm under HP-UX and report to me failures and
successes (e-mail me. Please include HP-UX version and yamm version).
I have not too much time to find out this bug, but I think it should be a
mis-installation of my system. If not you will find the same bug. I'm sorry,
I will correct this one in the next release of yamm.
Ciao,
Riccardo.
