This is the official continuation of the famous (and fabulous :-)
system monitor from Andreas Gelhausen.
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.
