SysOb V1.1b ( OS 3.0 ) Some slight improvements have been made ( The original documentation for Version 1.0 can be found at the end of this document ): - A Services menu has been added. If you want to work with a multiple-line- selection you may have to use the fix-Button first. - The TALK-hack used in Version 1.0 was replaced by clean code using 3.0's distributed objects. - The use of NILoginPanel ( used to authenticate the root-user ) was re- implemented hence the NIKit has changed and is ( ill though ) documented in 3.0. Beware if SysOb V1.1 ( without b ) ! It only got accidentally to the servers and contains a severe security-hole ! SysOb ======= Carsten Lutz ( clu@malihh.hanse.de ) some hints for using SysOb: SysOb must be setuid-root or the Process-Inspector and some other functions will not work ! User-Inspector -------------- - double-click a user to enable the pull-down-menu for single-user actions. - All masks ( e.g. the name and port - masks in the options-window ) are regular expressions. So if you want only the users displayed, who's names start with 'u', use '^u.*' as mask instead of 'u*' or such nonsense... - Sending messages to or logging off _multiple_ users with one action is NOT possible yet. - The talk-action is a real cludge, yet, which might not work with OS- versions > 2.1 and it will not even work with OS 2.1 at anytime !!! Process-Inspector ----------------- - The CPU-load and number of processes display is only the load and number of the displayed processes, not of all processes running ! So if you want to get the total load and number of processes, disable all masks and deselect "show threads" and "only with TTY" in the optionspanel. - If "show threads" is enabled, threads are displayed instead of tasks. Some fields are equal for all threads of a task then, because they are task- and not thread-specific. These fields are Commandname, PID, PGRP, PPID, Username, UID, controlling TTY, virtual size, real size, commandline and environment. This software is free, enjoy ! feedback is very welcome !
