I'm looking for a C or Mach function that will get me the percent usage/load of the CPU at any one time. If anyone knows of such a beastie, please email me (or post it I guess). I need it (or something like it) to implement a NeXTstep version of a nifty thing I've seen called xload on Suns here at Michigan....will be my first NS app too.... And FYI: my last posting seems to have got munged. I have uploaded fixrtf to cs.orst.edu and sonata.cc.purdue.edu. They should be in their proper places sometime soon. My apologies to the archive folks if I've done it wrong....

The function you probably want is 'table'. An example usage from LoadAve.c which is part of the NLoad application: /* 'table()' version of 'loadave()' suggested by Morris Meyer */ #import <c.h> #import <sys/table.h> #define QUEUES 3 extern int table(); int loadave(long vector[QUEUES]) { struct tbl_loadavg tl; int i; if(table(TBL_LOADAVG, 0, &tl, 1, sizeof(tl)) == CERROR) return(CERROR); if(tl.tl_lscale == 0) return(CERROR); for (i = 0; i < QUEUES; i++) vector[i] = tl.tl_avenrun[i]; return(tl.tl_lscale); } >I need it (or something like it) to implement a NeXTstep version of a nifty >thing I've seen called xload on Suns here at Michigan.... Already been done, I'm afraid. It's called 'NLoad' and I promise to have a finished working version for 2.0 on the NeXT archives 'real soon now'. - Christopher -------

In addition i played around with the Monitor App that worked under 1.0 and got it working under 2.0, i think. That is it works but i really did't know exactly what i was doing. If there is any interest i can repost the source that works (for me) under 2.0, or maybe this is something that the author of the program should do. The changes were trivial. -- =============================================================================== Internet: simmons@rigel.neep.wisc.edu Othernet: simmons@hoofers.lake.mendota --- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --- According to the HitchHikers guide to the galaxy, the one thing we *cannot* afford to have is a sense of perspective. ===============================================================================
