- Revision 1.16
-
-
- GR is used to regulate game playing. It checks various system
- facts such as the number of logged in users, and the system load average
- against a central control file to determine whether it is okay to play
- a requested game. It also lets you select a priority (see setpriority(2))
- at which the game will run. See the (enclosed) manual for more details.
-
- GR was formerly called "gsh" from which the base code was written
- at Reed College by a person who wishes to remain anonymous. I "adopted"
- it and have extensively modified the code.
-
- We are currently running GR on 4 of our VAX 750's running 4.2BSD.
- I suspect that the code should run without problems under 4.3BSD. As for
- System V, I'm sure some minimal modifications will have to be made, but
- as yet, I have not tried porting it.
-
- To install GR, edit gr.h and Makefile to tailor to your system.
- The comments supplied therein, should suffice. Then run "make gr" to
- compile GR. You should have no errors. Now edit the "gr.control" file
- to set your local system parameters. Next run "make create" to
- create the appropriate directory and support files. Run "make dolink"
- if you wish to have most of the standard 4.2 games put under the regulator;
- otherwise, you can link them by hand.
-
- I'd appreciate any bugs/comments you wish to pass along.
