If you want to see how this works, check out a non-committed port, wmavgload (pr # 7344). I've also got patches to get asload up and running but I haven't instituted that into the afterstep-devel port. Part of the problem is the present beta for AS-1.5 won't even start to compile due to a bad configure script and I don't have time to mess with it (and apparently neither do the AS development people). :-P Brett ****************************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ "There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears." - Popular Science, 1891 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
