AWACS System Analyzer for OS/2 Users and Programmers
San Antonio, Texas - AWACS is a real-time system monitor for dual-display
systems. Real-time monitoring consists of the following:
1. Swap file size, used, percent used, and any fast-swap amount
2. System total RAM, free, idle, locked, and resident RAM
3. Working-set analysis, minimum and recommended requirements
4. CPU utilization
5. Graphic displays for working set and CPU 'pulse'
6. Com port monitoring of any communications program
7. Caller ID display, showing last 10 callers, by name/number/time
8. A clock
This data is displayed to the second monitor, using the Mony display driver
(included). AWACS control is done from a multi-threaded, Presentation Manager
program that is very simple to operate, letting you adjust monitor rates and
priorities whenever required.
Configuration is simple, yet extensive, and done at program start up. Complete
documentation is included in the fully-functional Eval-U-Ware version,
available at the sites listed below. An ASCII-safe screen shot of the
second-monitor display is shown here, with the high-ASCII replaced by
safe-ASCII characters for this document, and truncated at column 73:
