Hi, I was wondering if there is any system performance monitoring software available for the NeXT that sample the system every few seconds and give a "snapshot" (in nice window-graphics) bar graphs and pie charts and the like to refelct the current memory usage of the system, top 10 CPU users, disk I/O's pending, etc. I have seen the MONITOR command for VAX/VMS, and the "meter" system for Encore Multimax computers, and these are the kinds of things I'm looking for. Think about it in these terms: What would you do to convince non-computer people that the system needs more resources? These kinds of real-time graphics tools are usually impressive and easily understood. Do they exist for the NeXT (yet?) Please Email replies (if possible) and I prommise to summarize here if I get anything. Thanks!

************* There is also a Monitor utility for NeXT. It is available in pub/next/source at nova.cc.purdue.edu. I personally use NLoad a lot, which uses one space at the doc and continuously displays the load in this space. I am not sure where I got it, but it is probably also at purdue or some other site. /ivo welch ivo@next.agsm.ucla.edu

There's an excellent freeware program for the NeXT called Monitor. It does what you want with nice graphics and a friendly interface to boot. It's available at the standard NeXT ftp sites.
