I'm looking for a tool to monitor traffic between an X client and server. I heard that there was a utility called xscope, when I brought it over it had something to do with signal processing. Please mail responses to rseaney@ease.arco.com Thanks

There are two things called xscope. One is the oscilloscopeish thing you have, the other is the thing you want. (A somewhat confusing state of affairs, I grant you.) I am not sure where the "official" place to get the xscope you want is. I obviously located one at some point, because I have it working here. I do not recall where I got it, alas. I had to touch it up slightly to persuade it to run in the background; if anyone wants to ftp my modified version, it's on 132.206.1.1 in the files found in X/xscope.src/. According to what internal evidence I can find (there's no contact address or signature in the README), the author is one James L. Peterson of MCC. Make of that what you will. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu

The xscope that monitors client-server traffic is part of the MIT
contrib/clients distribution. I built and it works (on a Sun SS1
running MIT X11r4). To make it build I had to say
make TOP=/usr/x11r4/src/mit
which is where we place our MIT X tree.
To monitor "anyxclient" from the same machine as the client, do
xscope -i1 -v2
anyxclient -display unix:1.0
