[comp.sys.next] 2.0 version of NLoad

lane@CAMIS.STANFORD.EDU (Christopher Lane) (04/16/91)

I've ftp'd a 2.0 compatible version of NLoad to the submissions directory of
the cs.orst.edu NeXT archive.

NLoad is a very simple 'load' monitoring tool (ala xload) that runs in its
application icon.  Though much simpler than the 'Monitor' application, the 2.0
version of NLoad does have the ability to monitor remote hosts (and not just
NeXTs) using the Sun RPC-based 'rstat' call.

Remote hosts to be monitored can be added using a 'dwrite' default or at run
time using a 'NetInfo OpenPanel' to select hosts out of the NetInfo database.

Many thanks to Rex Pruess of the Weeg Computing Center at the University of
Iowa for supplying code and help.  Suggestions for additions welcome.
