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 !

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 !
