State of the IRIX port:
* CPU percentage stuff hasn't improved despite my efforts. I fear there
may be a flaw in the way I'm summing counters for all the CPUs.
* Auto-detection of network interfaces apparently segfaults.
* Memory and load reporting appear to be running properly.
* CPU speed is not being reported properly on multi-proc machines.
* Total/running processes are not reported.
* gmetad untested.
* Monitoring core apparently stable in foreground, background being tested
(had a segfault earlier).
* It is really cool to see "1 hosts up and running, 32 CPUs total"
on the web front-end. :)
State of the Tru64 port:
* CPU percentage stuff here works perfectly.
* Memory and swap usage stats are suspected to be inaccurate.
* Total/running processes are not reported.
* gmetad untested.
* Monitoring core apparently stable in foreground and background.
State of the Solaris port:
* CPU percentages are slightly off, but correct enough for trending
purposes.
* Load, ncpus, CPU speed, breads/writes, lreads/writes, phreads/writes,
and rcache/wcache are all accurate.
* Memory/swap statistics are suspiciously flat, but local stats bear
this out (and they *are* being updated) so I haven't investigated
further.
* Total processes are counted, but not running ones.
* gmetad has been stable for 22 hours and counting. Still seeing gaps of
varying frequency in the Linux 2.4.1 source.

Anyway, all three ports I've been messing with are usable and fairly
stable. Although there are areas for improvement I think we really can't
keep hogging all this good stuff - what I'm looking at is ready for
release. I'll start putting together some diffs (although I mailed the big
one last week) ...
