Thanks! I was thinking in terms of "anything but Smalltalk" to avoid the obligatory FUD and Mud slinging. However, it does sound like a useful idea, and if the code is already written, it can't hurt to see what it shows. If it flags something, then I can figure out whether I can get the IT types to believe it.

Date: March 4, 2009 5:07:52 AM PST Perhaps you have a seaside component that kicks off a MessageTally then it shows you the results to determine if things look correct. You'll need to follow the emails and see if any of the changes actually made it into Pharo, it would have been helpful if they were. You could use OSProcess to pull the results of the command 'uptime' so you can understand how busy it is.
