Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br> |
| 41 |
+ |
Download it |

<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>. |
| 43 |
+ |
The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD |
| 44 |
+ |
1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise |
| 45 |
+ |
function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges |
| 46 |
+ |
libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
| 47 |
+ |
and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally, |
| 48 |
+ |
saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |
| 49 |
+ |
statistics. |

The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
| 108 |
< |
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
| 109 |
< |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
| 110 |
< |
statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
| 111 |
< |
libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |
| 112 |
< |
easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
| 113 |
< |
generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
| 114 |
< |
to use statgrab. |
