ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for DiskStat ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
DiskStat is a simple utility to help you keep track of your free harddisk space
and to monitor the changes in the size of your SWAPPER file.
DiskStat is provided free for personal use by Oberon Software. If you wish to
use DiskStat for your business, corporation, or institution, please contact
Oberon Software for license information.
When you start DiskStat, you may provide up to three parameters to adjust the
behavior:
o A drive letter (e.g., "C:")
o A numeric value to determine how often DiskStat examines the disk for
changes
o Initial screen placement.
The drive letter must be a single letter followed by a colon. The numeric
value is in milliseconds (1000 equals 1 second). The initial placement must be
an '@' character followed by a number from one to nine indicating screen
position as follows:
1. Top left corner
2. Centered at top
3. Top right corner
4. Centered at left
5. Centered on screen
6. Centered at right
7. Lower left corner
8. Centered at bottom
9. Lower right corner
If the drive letter is omitted, the current drive is used. If the numeric
parameter is omitted it defaults to 1000. If the placement is omitted it
defaults to 5.
Example:
DISKSTAT E: 2000 @1
In the example, DiskStat is directed to examine drive E:, to refresh its
display every 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds), and to place the window initially
at the top left corner of the PM screen.
While DiskStat is running, it displays:
o The drive letter and label of the disk it is monitoring
o The file system installed on the target disk (FAT or HPFS)
o The total amount of disk space on the drive
o The current amount of free disk space
o The total disk usage presented as a percentage
If the target disk contains the system swapper file, the current size of the
swap file is also presented. The last two or three values (depending on
whether the swapper file is being monitored) are redetermined periodically.
The period is determined by the numeric command line parameter used when
DiskStat was started.
There is an item labeled "Overall..." on DiskStat's system menu. Select this
item to display a dialog which contains some statistics gathered during the
current DiskStat session:
o The time DiskStat was started
o The current time
o The length of time DiskStat has been active (in hours, minutes, seconds)
o The smallest amount of free space reported during that duration
o The largest amount of free space reported during that duration
When DiskStat is minimized, the percent of disk space in use will be shown in
its icon. This value is updated in the icon just as it is in the main window
display.
If you like DiskStat or if you have any suggestions or problem reports, please
contact Oberon Software.
Oberon Software also provides several other useful OS/2 tools and programs
such as: TE/2 for OS/2 Telecommunications and FSHL, an Alternative Command
Line Executive for OS/2.

and custom programming.
