It is well integrated in KDE and can be +configured graphically. For more information, see the associated +documentation (before installation it can be found in ktimemon/doc/*.html) + +KTimemon works on Linux using the /proc filesystem, on Solaris using the +kstat interface, and on Digital Unix (formerly known as DEC/OSF1) using +the table() system call interface. If you can help me to port it to other +platforms, please drop me a note! + +While I was able to test the system interface on Solaris and DEC/OSF1 in +isolation, I could not test the whole application for lack of KDE on the +machines I have access to. Hence I have no idea whether this thing +actually compiles, let alone works on these platforms. The machines I tested +were running DEC/OSF V4.0 and Solaris 2.5.1 respectively. If you get it to +work (or not) on such a system, please let me know! + + +Noteworthy changes from version 0.2: +- Port to DEC/OSF1 and Solaris +- Configurable mouse bindings +- Slight rearrangement of memory information +- Bars can be displayed vertically +- Improved (actually working) configuration interface +- Fixed a few bugs and doubtlessly introduced some more + +Version 0.3a has only minor improvements over 0.3: +- New tooltips with numeric information about system load +- Translation fixes + +Note that some of the configuration entry names have changed from version +0.2 to 0.3, so you may want to delete your current configuration in +$(HOME)/.kde/share/config/ktimemonrc and start with a fresh installation +if you are upgrading from 0.2 + +Martin <m.maierhofer@tees.ac.uk> |
