Gr_Monitor - Graphical Monitor V1.0

Gr_Monitor continuously displays information about activity on a UNIX system. See the man pages for details.

Currently works on Linux. V0.5[45] worked on IRIX, but I no longer have access to an SGI box for testing.

Since much of the code was cut out of other programs, it lacks some consistency in both style and structure.

You will need mesa libaries including glut. These come standard with Caldera Open Linux 2.3, which is what I'm using.

To install the precompiled binaries in /usr/local/bin and man pages in /usr/local/man/man1:

0) Depending on your system setup, you might have to be root to

do this.

1. Change into the distribution directory
2. make -f Makefile install

To build:

0) If you dont' already have them, Obtain the Mesa or OpenGL and GLUT libraries.

       See http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html
            ftp://iris.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/Mesa/
       See http://www.sgi.com/Technology/openGL/opengl.html
            ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/pub/opengl/xjournal/GLUT/
     N.B. Caldera 2.3 ships with these libraries - but you may have to install
     the -devel rpms, e.g. mesa-devel-*.rpm

1. make
2. make install

For platforms other than Linux and IRIX, where you have OpenGL, but need a gather utility, see the gr_gather_sgi.nawk script and modify it to your purposes.
