lcdproc 0.4pre1 (and up) has a joystick driver for
buttons not attached
to the LCD module. I have been frantically looking for my Gravis joypad
to no avail. :-(
Hrmmm? OK, I'll show my lack of non-UNIX PC knowledge here, what does a
Gravis Joypad connect to, and would one work on a Alpha Multia? The code is in C, right?
lcdproc is written in C. I was contemplating just some basic string
printing stuff for RT, not lcdproc.
...I imagine that it's heavily involved with the
Linux /proc filesystem.
Yes it is. :-( I'm attempting to unhose that dependency with Solaris.
I think for RSX or RSTS it would be cool just to have
it show how many
users are currently online and that the system is running. Of course
ideally more.
As long as those stats are easily garnered from the OS, it's a snap.
COOL, how much of that would be applicable to SunOS?
Myself and one of the
people at work would love to see about connecting this to an Auspex, and
they run a chopped up version of SunOS.
Dunno. I have never attempted to aquire kernel stats under SunOS. Solaris
is bad enough. Some stuff is easy, other stuff you have to walk the entire
process structure and tally each individual process. :-P
