- I'm sorry, but monitor 1.05.1 will show wrong uptime values when used
- with AIX version 3.2. This is due the modifications that IBM has made to their
- system. If anybody knows the real story of how sysinfo.runque and
- sysinfo.runocc values (described in /usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h) are
- handled in aix3.2 versus aix3.1 I would be very glad to know it. Those
- variables are used to calculate load average values. The documention
- with include files don't seem to be up to date.
-
- I have tried to modify load average calculations to work with aix3.2
- but there might still be some bugs with those modifications. I'll
- make the beta test version available from
- ftp.funet.fi:pub/unix/AIX/RS6000/monitor-1.06beta.tar.Z with anonymous
- ftp. I don't guarantee that it will work since I've been very busy
- with other projects here.
-
- About that real memory value, I don't know the correct vay to do
- it in AIX3.?. My way has worked with 300 and 500 series. We don't have
- any RS/6000 model 220's here so perhaps somebody who has one could
- try to peek the way to look the real memory value. (Or IBM could
- tell us the correct way to do it?). If there would be an "AIX
- Internals manual" life would be lot easier with this.
