I'd really like to know how to make xload stop showing that irritating exponentially decayed output -- it's really totally inappropriate for a stripchart to do that. Replies to d.king@frio.chpc.utexas.edu, please. David King UT CHPC P.s. Thanks for all the xlock tips. I got version 22.7 from expo.lcs.mit.edu and now it works fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by the remark about stripcharts. The stripchart widget doesn't know anything about the data it displays. I would agree that an exponential runnable-processes average is a totally inappropriate measure of system load for a single-user workstation - is that what you were trying to say? One of these days I'll get around to posting an X11R4 version of the old xcpu program. I have an R3 version, but xload changed substantially between R3 and R4, and I'd like to make xcpu reflect the same changes. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax, apple, hplabs}!well!jef "I am always suspicious about statements from a country which calls megawatt lasers 'medical'." -- Maj.
