Hello ppl,
this posting announce the new release of yamm, yamm-2.5.2.
Appended to the end of this posting there is the README of this release.
Still not yet the final release, but i hink the code is stable enought to
be a no more beta release.

YAMM (Yet Another Micro Monitor) is a program that monitor the system just like
top do, but it is a bit more complete than top, allowing the sysadmin to do
some basic actions on processes, users or groups like renice or kill.
It make use of curses or ncurses acting like top, or nothing at all
acting like ps.

PS: I'm not sue if this is or not the first posting you receive because we have
had some poblems with news server. In case, i'm sory for the duplicate article.

Ciao a tutti,
        Riccardo.

[README-2.5.2]
Here a new release of yamm.

Thanks to all the ppl that have helped me in hunting bugs and making
yamm better.

Read the NOTES at the end of this file carefully.

WHERE TO FIND YAMM:

anonymous/ftp site at

hplda1.unipv.it:/pub/linux/Local-Soft/

FEATURES:

This release include:

o - binaries compiled by me, in bin/ directory
o - Updated man page
o - WCHAN function name displayed if you update /etc/zSystem.map every time
    a new kernel is compiled and installed (linux)
o - Also modular version is now supportin WCHAN (linux)
o - added the W status for tasks with no rss a la ps and top (linux)
o - now task names and enclosed in brackets only if swapped out, a la top (linux)
o - tested with ncurses 1.8.5: it works fine
o - updated man page
o - keypad functions (arrows/pgup/pgdown/home/end/del). See online help ('?')
    and you will find which function is activated by which key
o - Configure: this is a script for configuring yamm compilation. Try it out.
    (I hope you find some bugs, hehehehe ... uaaaarggg!! :)
o - module version (drv_yamm.o) is supporting the wchan with kernel 1.1.49 and
    above (linux)
o - SIGWINCH now works (if someone would like to rewrite that code please,
    do not be shy, take a look at do_resize() :))))
o - Cleaned up some other bugs in code.
o - The program can now be compiled with not only gcc compiler, but they must
    support the stringify preprocessor function or the signalling code will
    be limited only to signumbers and not signames.

NOTES:

- In the bin/ directory you will find the binaries:
  yamm compiled with curses, using /proc filesystem (linux)
  yamm compiled with curses, using drv_yamm.o, with drv_yamm.o (linux)
  yamm compiled with ncurses 1.8.5, using /proc filesystem (linux)
  yamm compiled with ncurses 1.8.5, using drv_yamm.o, with drv_yamm.o (linux)
  yamm compiled with curses, HP-UX 9.00, gcc (HPUX)

  All the linux binaries are compiled with:
  kernel version 1.1.49
  gcc version 2.5.8
  shlibs version 4.5.26

- The directory tree is changed. Do you like it ?

- keypad works only on systems that support the KEY_ I have used for its
  implementation. The KEY_ #define'itions are in (n)curses header file

- WCHAN needs the zSystem.map in /etc directory, so to make use of this feature
  you have compile the kernel, and copy the /usr/src/linux/zSystem.map in /etc

- Configure is still experimental, but try it just to see if works. If you find
  bugs in Configure and/or you want to config. the compilation by hand, you can
  copy the Makefile.std to Makefile and edit it. Anyway with Configure i've
  tryed to resolve the problems with system-specific variables such as OS,
  ncurses installation, etc etc

- This version of yamm is tested with:

Compiler:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.5.8/specs
gcc version 2.5.8

Linux version:
Linux azuth 1.1.49 #2 Tue Aug 30 19:58:41 MET DST 1994 i486

Shared libraries:
libc.so.4.5.26

  The module version will run only with the kernels v 1.1.49 and newest,
  the /proc filesystem verison will run with older kernels too (at least i hope)
