Mar 5, 1998 XCPUSTATE is a snapshot performance monitor. It was originally written by Mark Moraes to watch the load distribution on the CPUs on an Silicon Graphics Iris 4D/240. It has since been ported to a wide variety of multiprocessors and uniprocessors. On some systems (eg. Suns), XCPUSTATE can monitor disk performance, and on Suns running SunOS 4.x, it can monitor OMNI network coprocessor performance. It supports the RSTAT RPC protocol, and both tiled/stippled and color/grayscale bars. Native support for the following systems is included: AIX 3.x and 4.x, BSD 4.3 and earlier, BSD 4.4 and derivitives (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD), BSDI, Gould NP1, SGI IRIX, MACH, NCR SVR4, Solbourne OS/MP, SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.x, USL SVR4, Digital Ultrix, Cray UNICOS, Linux. If your system is not listed here, RSTAT RPC may still be used. New in version 2.5: "-avg" flag added, support for fractional intervals.
