Short: System monitor (MUI and AmiTCP optional)
Type: util/moni
Author: atte@crash.north.de (Andreas Gelhausen)
Uploader: atte@crash.north.de (Andreas Gelhausen)
Replaces: util/moni/scout25.lha
Requires: Kickstart 2.04, MUI and AmiTCP optional
What is Scout?
==============
Scout is a tool that allows you to monitor your computer system. It
displays many different things -- like tasks, ports, assigns,
expansion boards, resident commands, interrupts, etc. -- and you
can perform some certain actions on them.
For example you can freeze tasks, close windows and screens, release
semaphores or remove locks, ports and interrupts.
Through AmiTCP it's also possible to use Scout as an TCP/IP service.
Since version 2.0 of Scout you can use nearly all implemented
functions through shell parameters. Therefore it's not necessary
to install MUI for using Scout, but you will need MUI, if you want
to use Scout with its graphical user interface.
The archive 'scout26.lha' includes the release version 2.6 of scout.
Changes from release 2.5 to release 2.6:
========================================
o The custom chips was not correctly displayed.
(Reported by Marius Sundbakken and Christoph Rickers)
o Changed some details of expansions display.
o Fixed bug by displaying the CPU usage of tasks in per cent. The
stack size of Scout's cheat task was not correctly set.
(Reported by Peter Kaltstein and Andreas Fredriksson)
o Changed scan routine of locks (with help from Gary Duncan).
Perhaps a bug was removed by getting the list of locks.
o Fixed portlist killing bug. (This bug happened sometimes, if
Scout was started more than once.) =¦^(
o Scout did not correctly recognize the 68060 cpu.
(Reported by Lee Huggett)
o Now all flags should be displayed with their names.
(Hi Marius! =¦^)
o Fixed MEMSIZE display bug in expansions detail window.
(Reported by Tony Leneis)
o Fixed small enforcer hit that sometimes appeared at the
detail window of windows and screens.
