nstats in my contrib as promised. its a slightly modified port of russ's code from p9p that uses a GUI frontend and an OS specific backend.
I added the OS type and a rough performance guide to the top line (if the window is wide enough) as we had quite a few servers on different OSs and it was very helpful to be able to put the system load in context. I have used this code extensively but not widely - there may be portability issues I have missed. As usual feel free to feed back fixes and extensions. -Steve
