Hi,  I was wondering if there is any system performance monitoring software
available for the NeXT that sample the system every few seconds and give a
"snapshot" (in nice window-graphics) bar graphs and pie charts and the like
to refelct the current memory usage of the system,  top 10 CPU users,  disk
I/O's pending, etc.  I have seen the MONITOR command for VAX/VMS, and the
"meter" system for Encore Multimax computers, and these are the kinds of
things I'm looking for.

Think about it in these terms:  What would you do to convince non-computer
people that the system needs more resources?  These kinds of real-time
graphics tools are usually impressive and easily understood.  Do they
exist for the NeXT (yet?)

Please Email replies (if possible) and I prommise to summarize here if I
get anything.

Thanks!  Ed Federmeyer   (ed@iitmax.iit.edu)   (sysed@iitvax.bitnet)
