- What is Scout?
- ==============
-
- Scout is a tool that allows you to monitor your computer system. It
- displays many different things -- like tasks, ports, assigns,
- expansion boards, resident commands, interrupts, etc. -- and you
- can perform some certain actions on them.
-
- For example you can freeze tasks, close windows and screens, release
- semaphores or remove locks, ports and interrupts.
-
- Through AmiTCP it's also possible to use Scout as an TCP/IP service.
-
- Since version 2.0 of Scout you can use nearly all implemented
- functions through shell parameters. Therefore it's not necessary
- to install MUI for using Scout, but you will need MUI, if you want
- to use Scout with its graphical user interface.
-
- The archive 'scout26.lha' includes the release version 2.6 of scout.
-
-
- Changes from release 2.5 to release 2.6:
- ========================================
-
- o The custom chips was not correctly displayed.
- (Reported by Marius Sundbakken and Christoph Rickers)
-
- o Changed some details of expansions display.
-
- o Fixed bug by displaying the CPU usage of tasks in per cent. The
- stack size of Scout's cheat task was not correctly set.
- (Reported by Peter Kaltstein and Andreas Fredriksson)
-
- o Changed scan routine of locks (with help from Gary Duncan).
- Perhaps a bug was removed by getting the list of locks.
-
- o Fixed portlist killing bug. (This bug happened sometimes, if
- Scout was started more than once.) =¦^(
-
- o Scout did not correctly recognize the 68060 cpu.
- (Reported by Lee Huggett)
-
- o Now all flags should be displayed with their names.
- (Hi Marius! =¦^)
-
