A simple text based network device status monitor. It shows a weighted average of the traffic for the past several seconds. The average includes the overhead packets.
This is a simple dockapp that monitors the following: the amount of users logged in, the total number of processes, the number of running (or 'alive') processes, the total number of forks and the system load average.
This little app reads a file that has 3 lines with 8 or less chars per line and keeps updating the display based on whats in the file. This allows you to plug-in your own scripts for monitoring anything. I have provided an example script that grabs weather information from weather.com based on a zip code. It's just a little hack to wmtop, but hopefully the non-C hackers will enjoy it.
