Subject: [HUMBUG] Next Meeting - 7th May 2005
The Home Unix Machine Brisbane Users Group exists to get fellow
Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people to
Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and to help users in
operating those systems. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meetings tend to be informal. We socialize, discuss Unix and
computing, solve Unix problems for new and experienced users
alike and, these days, have regular talks.
Date: Saturday, 7th May 2005 (every second Saturday)
Time: From 3pm with the network up 30 minutes after we are
granted entry. The network will be brought down after
midnight to allow time to clean up for a 1am exit.
Venue: Room S201, Hawken Engineering Building (no. 50)
The University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
Car parking is currently unregulated on Saturdays. The
University is serviced by public transport with frequent

Subject: ProcMeter3 - System monitoring program (cpu, memory etc.)
From: "Andrew M. Bishop" <amb@gedanken.demon.co.uk>
PROCMETER V3.4d
===============
The ProcMeter program itself is a framework on which a number of modules
(plugins) are loaded. More modules can be written as required to perform more
monitoring and informational functions.
The statistics that are displayed are grouped by module, with a menu allowing
selection of module and a sub-menu for each output available for that module.
APM
Advanced Power Management information. These outputs are only available
if you have configured the kernel to have the APM feature.
Biff
Monitors the e-mail inbox (in /var/spool/mail/<username> or
/var/mail/<username>) and indicates the number of e-mails that are
waiting and the size.
Date_Time
The current date and time and the amount of time since the system was
last booted.
DiskUsage
Shows the percentage of the disk that is used and the amount of free
space for each of the local disks that it finds are mounted or can be
mounted when the program starts.
LogFile
Monitors the size and number of lines and the rate of increase of these
in a set of log files.
Memory
The amount of memory that is used for programs, buffers, cache and the
amount that is free.
Network
The network devices and the amount of traffic on each of them. It will
automatically pick up available devices when it starts.
Processes
The load average and the number of processes running and starting.
ProcMeter
Information about the procmeter program itself.
Sensors
Hardware sensors for temperature and fan speed. (Requires sensor
hardware and kernel patch from http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/ or
version 2.6 kernel).
Statistics
Low level system statistics. For example CPU usage, disk usage,
swapping and paging.
VM_Statistics
Low level system statistics about virtual memory (swaping and paging)
for kernel version 2.5 where the information has moved from the Statistics
section.
Stat-CPU
Statistics about individual CPU usage including support for SMP
machines.
Stat-Disk
Statistics about individual disk usage including support for up to 4
disks.
Stat-Intr
Statistics about individual interrupts including support for up to 32
interrupts.
Uname
The system information from the uname program, hostname and Linux kernel
version.
Wireless
Information about wireless network devices. It will automatically pick
up available devices when it starts.
Longrun
For systems with the Transmeta Crueso processor, information about
longrun. Will not work unless the kernel is compiled with CPUID
support, and /dev/cpu/0/cpuid must be readable by procmeter.
ACPI
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface information. These outputs
are only available if you have enabled ACPI in the Linux kernel and you
have the appropriate hardware. ACPI can report various information
about a system's battery, and may also have thermal outputs available.
Changes
=======
Since version 3.4c:
Bug fixes:
Updated ACPI support to handle kernel version 2.6.
Added support for /dev/mapper in disk statistics.
Change to using 64-bit variables from /proc/stat.
