- I wrote this little ditty just to utilize the two lines on the bottom of
- the screen where the soft labels for the function keys are normally displayed.
- This program will only work if you login on the console (obviously) and
- you aren't using the "user agent" or something that needs those two lines.
-
- I give thanks to Scott Hazen Mueller for his contribution of "newmgr.c"
- that initially gave me the idea for displaying the file system information.
-
- After unpacking the shar file, "su" and become root. Then type:
-
- # make install
-
- This will copy the program into /usr/lbin (as defined by the Makefile) but
- you might just want to have this for your own "bin" directory, because
- it is only useful if you run on a windowed device.
-
- The mail file is only read for the number of messages if the modification
- time changes since the last read (saving on disk I/O). This program also
- runs with a nice value of 5, and sleeps for 15 seconds between passes.
- (#defined by NICE and SLEEP respectively)
-
- You might want to place the following lines in your /etc/localprofile
- or .profile to activate sysinfo apon login:
-
- TTY=`tty`
- if [ "`expr $TTY : '/dev/w' `" != "0" ]
- then
- sysinfo
- fi
-
- Please report any bugs, suggestions and problems to me:
