		WindowMaker/AfterStep CPU Load Monitor

DESCRIPTION:
------------
cpuload is a Dock/Wharf applet you can use to monitor the load of your CPU
or memory using a Linux system. The CPU load is the sum of the system, user and
nice time versus the idle time. On a SMP system, the applet is able to display
the load of the some processors, or the average load of all processors. If you
want to use this feature, you may need to patch your kernel. This patch can be
obtained at the following URL:

	http://www-isia.cma.fr/~forissie/smp_kernel_patch/

As this patch modifies the structure of /proc/stat, it may break some existing
programs. I've included the patch for the 2.0.x kernel in this release.

INSTALLATION:
-------------
./configure
make install


USAGE:
------
If you want to put cpuload into AfterStep Wharf, you need to add the following
line to the Wharf definition in your .steprc file:

	*Wharf cpuload nil Swallow "cpuload" cpuload -s &

Note that you now have to use the `Swallow' keyword instead of `MaxSwallow'

To swallow it in the WindowMaker Dock, you need to start it with this command:

	cpuload -w -s &

You can then drag the application icon to the Dock.

If you want to select which items you want to monitor, you have to add the
appropriate switches. Type `cpuload --help' for more information.


BUGS, SUGGESTIONS & CONTACT:
----------------------------
Please send bug reports or suggestions to marc@netvision.be.


CREDITS:
--------

I have borrowed many code from wmload, although the whole part is almost
completely rewritten.


FUTURE PLANS:
-------------

  * Write a man page

  * Allow to use a another pixmap instead of those bars (like a filling
    penguin).


SOME WORDS OF WISDOM:
---------------------

  Don't enter the Gates of Hell; use Linux!
