- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About SwapMon ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Author: Thierry Ballon, Paris, France, 1994-1996
-
- SwapMonitor is not a free program, but rather it is distributed as a shareware
- for purposes of evaluation. You have the opportunity to evaluate this product
- for up to 15 days before you are required to purchase a license. (see How to
- register)
-
- A license of SwapMonitor can be purchased for 15$
-
- SwapMonitor is a small program that will allow you to monitor SWAPPER.DAT size
- and free space on all your drives (local and remote).
-
- SwapMonitor can also be used to setup alarms either one time or on a repetitive
- basis.
-
- SwapMonitor can display the list of active processes and allows you to switch
- to one of them or to kill any of them. Be carefull when using this last
- feature, because you might loose work unintentionnally by forgetting to save
- it.
-
- You will also be able to display various informations:
-
- Date and time.
-
- Elapsed time since the computer was booted.
-
- Number of active processes and threads.
-
- Percentage of usage for each drive.
-
- Type of File System (fat, hpfs, lan, netware).
-
- If you have Theseus2 (available in THESEUS2 PACKAGE on OS2TOOLS or System
- Performance Monitor/2 IBM product), you will also be able to display the
- following information:
-
- SWAPPER.DAT analysis (how much of SWAPPER.DAT is actually used): see
- SWAPPER.DATA analysis
-
- Memory analysis (how much memory is free, locked, ...): see Memory
- analysis
-
- Process analysis (how much memory is used by each process): see Process
- analysis
-
- In order to have Theseus2 support in SwapMonitor, you must put THESEUS0.DLL in
- a directory from LIBPATH and add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=x:\path\THESEUS2.SYS
-
- SwapMonitor uses a Logging window to display Theseus2 information. If you
- don't want to use the Logging window (nor Theseus2), erase SWAPDLL.DLL
-
- The following picture shows a sample SwapMonitor window where most options are
- active. The red line displays the status for the drive containing SWAPPER.DAT
- file. Note also, the error message because the network server for drive Q: is
- down.
-
- SWAPPER.DAT path is determined from the SWAPPATH= statement in CONFIG.SYS.
- Normally CONFIG.SYS is located in the root of the boot drive. However in case
- you use Warp boot selection menu by pressing ALT-F1 you may end up using a
- copy of CONFIG.SYS elsewhere. If you want to look for CONFIG.SYS in another
- path, you simply have to specify this new path as first command line
- parameter, for example:
-
- SwapMon H:\CONFIG.SYS
-
- You can customize SwapMonitor by opening its pop-up menu by clicking on mouse
- button 2 or pressing ALT, CTLR or F10 when SwapMonitor has focus:
-
- Options This will open a child pull-down menu where you can change
- many options to customize SwapMonitor. (see: Options.)
-
- Alarm This will display a dialog box where you can setup an
- alarm. You can choose to have the alarm lauched only one
- time or every time ( hour, day, week, month, ...)
-
- Process list This will display a window with active process. You can
- select any of them and switch ot to foreground or kill it.
-
- Logging This menu item is displayed if you keep SwapMon.dll. It
- controls access to the Logging window. (see: Logging
- window.)
-
- Refresh all drives This will force a test on all network drives. It is useful
- if you have any drive still showing 'net error' messsage
- and the server is up again. (see: Refresh all drives.)
-
- Minimize or Maximize This option allows you to minimize SwapMonitor window if
- it was in maximized state and vice-versa. It has the same
- effect as double-clicking on SwapMonitor window.
-
- Help This will give you some help through Help Manager window.
- You could as well press key F1 when SwapMonitor has focus.
-
- Exit SwapMon Click there to immediately exit SwapMonitor. Options are
- automatically saved in SwapMon.ini file and will be
- restored the next time you start SwapMonitor.
-
- SwapMonitor options menus are not dismissed like usual menus when you click on
- them. You have to click on 'Close menus' selection in main pop-up menu or in
- SwapMonitor window to validate your choices and dismiss all pull-down menus.
-
- You can easily change the font by dragging a new font from Font palette and
- change the backgound color by dragging a new color from Color Palette located
- in System Configuration folder
-
- You can start Font and Palette Managers directly by clicking on an option from
- the options menu. (see Options)
-
- All your selections will be automatically saved in SwapMon.ini file when
- exiting SwapMonitor.
-
- If this file doesn't exist:
-
- if SwapMon.exe is located on a local drive, then SwapMon.ini will be
- created in the same directory as SwapMon.exe.
-
- if SwapMon.exe is located on a remote drive, then SwapMon.ini will be
- created in the root directory of OS/2 boot drive. This will allow network
- administrator to put SwapMon.exe on a shared network drive, and all users
- will keep a personal copy of their settings in SwapMon.ini on a local
- disk.
-
- Once it has been created, you can then move SwapMon.ini to any directory
- listed in DPATH line of CONFIG.SYS.
-
- You can easily switch between maximized display (see first picture above) and
- minimized display (see following picture) by double-clicking on SwapMonitor
- first line or by pressing any key but ESC when SwapMonitor has focus.
-
- You can move SwapMonitor window anywhere within your desktop boundaries. If
- you prefer to move it to the upper screen area, it is a good idea to select
- option 'Title bar fixed' so that SwapMonitor window will expand toward the
- bottom of the screen when you double-click on the first line.
-
- SwapMonitor was carefully tested but if you find any bug, please send a
- description of the problem to one of these E-Mail address:

- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. Definition of Shareware ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
- If you try a shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
- register.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
- below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
- authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
- good programs and bad ones !). The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
- the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
- software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
- shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
- can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
- Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
-

- consequential, which may result from the use of SwapMonitor".
-
- SwapMonitor is a shareware program and is provided at no charge to the user for
- evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but you are not allowed to
- give it away altered or as part of another system.
-
- If you continue using SwapMonitor after the 15 days evaluation period, you must
- purchase a license by registering (see how to register)
-
-

-
- You must enter your name and registration code exactly has stated in your
- license acceptation (upper and lower case).
-
- This license code will allow you to convert you shareware version into a
- full-function registered version. Keep this license code in a safe place for

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.14. Exclude drives ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Select the drives you want to exclude from the list of displayed drives.
-
- Some lan drive may be disabled in the list. This means that a lan timeout
- occurred when SwapMonitor requested data from the server. Most likely this
- happens because the server is down or the network session is disconnected. In
- order not to fall in this timeout error condition at each timer refresh, this
- drive is disabled. If the server is up again, close SwapMonitor and start it
- again so that all network drives are checked again. If a server is still down,
- SwapMonitor will block on a network timeout the first time it checks that
- drive, and then it will disable it.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.15. Include drives ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- By selecting a drive to include, you will force SwapMonitor to display this
- drive even if SwapMonitor has detected that this drive has removeable media and
- should not be displayed.
-
- Note, however, that if you do include such a drive, you must ensure that a
- media is inserted, otherwise you'll get a pop-up error message box.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.16. Confirm on exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- By selecting this option, you will have a message box prompting you if you
- really want to exit when closing SwapMonitor. Otherwise SwapMonitor will be
- closed without confirmation.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Refresh all drives ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This action is mainly useful when you are displaying remote drives and a server
- had a failure. In this case SwapMonitor displays an error message instead of
- the normal drive information.
-
- Even if the server is up again, this message will still be displayed because
- network errors usually imply long timeout delays. Therefore, once an error has
- occurred SwapMonitor won't test this drive anymore to prevent falling again in
- a long timeout waiting for the error.
-
- When you know that the server is running again, you can select this action to
- force SwapMonitor to refresh all drive information, thus removing the net error
- message.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Minimize or Maximize ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This option allows you to change the window state. It has the same effect as
- double-clicking on the SwapMonitor window.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Keys help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When SwapMonitor has focus:
-
- pressing ALT, or F10 key will bring up pop-up menu:
-
- F5, Ctrl-M, Ctrl-S, Ctrl-P are transmitted to the Logging window (it will
- be automatically opened, if necessary) for immediate execution.
-
- pressing any other key but ESC or CTLR will switch between minimized and
- maximized state of SwapMonitor.
-
- In Logging window available keys are:
-
- F2 Display or hide SWAPPER.DAT extrema.
-
- F3 Close Logging window.
-
- F4 Save window contents to file.
-
- F5 Display process status.
-
- F8 Enables or disables auto-scrolling.
-
- Ctrl-Home Move to first line.
-
- Ctrl-End Move to last line.
-
- Ctrl-Insert Copy logging window contents to clipboard.
-
- Shift-Delete Erases logging window contents.
-
- Ctrl-S If Theseus2 active, displays SWAPPER.DAT analysis.
-
- Ctrl-M If Theseus2 active, displays memory analysis.
-
- Ctrl-P If Theseus2 active, displays process analysis.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Working Set Parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This dialog box allows you to setup the parameters for working set measurement.
-
- The working set is the memory that is actually used over a period of time.
-
- You can measure the working set of the entire system or of a single process.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10.1. Number of seconds per interval ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Enter the number of seconds per interval of measurement. This value must be
- greater than 1 and smaller than 65. If you select a too small value ( less than
- 5) the results won't be very reliable because sampling process itself will
- increase its overhead.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10.2. Number of intervals in Working Set ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Working Set is the amount of memory that has been referenced by all active
- processes during the period defined by the number of intervals you enter in the
- field. (Minimum is one interval, maximum is 254 intervals).
-
- It is recommended to enter a value so that the Working Set period is bigger
- than 60s.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10.3. Process PID ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Enter 0 (zero) if you wish to measure the Working Set for the entire system,
- that is all active processes.
-
- If you wish to measure a specific process, find its PID (Process IDentity) by
- running 'Process Analysis' first.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10.4. Start immediately ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you select this check-box, Working Set measurement will start as soon as you
- close the dialog box by clicking 'Ok' push button. Otherwise, you will have to
- start WS measurement manually by select 'Start' sub-menu from 'Working Set'
- pull-down menu.
