Short: System load meter Author: bifat / TEK neoscientists Uploader: timm mueller darmstadt netsurf de Type: util/wb Version: 1.1 Requires: os3.0 (v39), 68020 Architecture: m68k-amigaos system load meter created during the 'mongo grass party' neoscientific spring conference. introduction ------------------- Flynn is a tiny system load meter for your workbench. i've picked this idea from a windowmaker appicon on a linux desktop. the amiga version is a bit fancier, though. ;-) Flynn lives in a dark place, i.e. in a tiny window on your workbench. he's your slave, and you're his master. he lives around task priority 0, and he will suffer from your activities, i.e. from the system load generated by your applications. you can drag him around and resize his window. his pervert nature is not to be trusted. hurt him plenty! notes ------------------- Flynn uses some kind of stochastic load analysis, and tasks with lower priorities will impose less torture on him than tasks with higher priority. he doesn't care of load caused by interrupt code. Flynn reacts to screen notification (screennotify.library). preferences will be saved automatically in the icon's tooltypes. if no icon exists, flynn will create one for you. if scheduled with Executive, Flynn's life would be too easy. i suggest to experiment with noschedule (include his childtasks) and leave his task priority untouched, or set it below dynamic range. Flynn needs an 68020, OS3.0, render.library v29.0 (dev/misc/renderlib.lha) and guigfx.library v15.0 (dev/misc/guigfxlib.lha). Flynn comes with source code. installation ------------------- not much to say here... install the libraries and drag Flynn to your wbstartup drawer. he's not a commodity, but he lives quite comfortable there. usage ------------------- find a good place and window size for Flynn. press escape or send him a CTRL-C if you want to get rid of him. press the right mouse button over his face to make him smile, and generate heavy system load to make him suffer! legal status ------------------- created by TEK neoscientists. freeware, no copyrights apply. requirements ------------------- - os3.0 (v39) - 68020 - guigfx.library v15 (dev/misc/guigfxlib.lha) - render.library v29 (dev/misc/renderlib.lha) author ------------------- bifat / TEK neoscientists timm.mueller@darmstadt.netsurf.de history ------------------- 1.1 - more animation frames added. flynn now gets very angry when the system load rises very quickly. - clicking him with the right mouse button makes him smile. 1.0 - initial release
