README:                                             06/19/97

I am currently(when I have spare time) working on a commercial version
to be renamed "DISKTOOL-Pro" which will include many new enhancements
including an RPC daemon to monitor disks from remote machines without
the need to NFS mount them. I just need to iron out a couple of security
issues and then it should be ready to hit the streets.

Keep those cards and letters coming!

Notes
=====

Read the CHANGES file for a brief description of the latest changes

The MIN and MAX polling intervals can be adjusted by changing the values
of MIN_POLL_INT and MAX_POLL_INT, respectively, in common.h

The "OK" and "Critical" colors can be adjusted by changing the value of 
OKCOLOR and CRITCOL, respectively, in common.h

Autocalc of spacing takes place if the spacing value is below 50(pixels).
This can be adjusted by changing the value of MINSPACING in common.h

Description
===========
`disktool' is an XView program to monitor up to 64 filesystems
simultaneously and alert you when a particular filesystem is low on
space. disktool is set-up to "un-iconify" when a filesystem it is
monitoring has reached its' user-definable "critical threshold". A
unix command can also be initiated when this threshold is reached.
The command and un-iconifying can be repeated every so many polls,
configurable from the cmdline or from the Properties pop-up.
The properties pop-up is obtained by selecting any gauge with the
right mouse button. The middle mouse button has also been mapped to 
force a filesystem poll to update the displayed data.

`disktool' is a good sysadmin tool for monitoring diskfull situations
to avoid datafile corruption.

This program is Copyright(c)1993-97 Shaun Finn sfinn@thecore.com
but please feel free to e-mail me any suggestions for improvements
or bugs.

Compilation
===========
A makefile has been supplied that works under SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris 2.x,
HP-UX and FreeBSD using the XView3.x libraries. There are some configurable
options, well marked, at the top of the Makefile for OS configuration.
A copy has also been supplied (Makefile.orig) in case you modify the
original and you haven't got a clue where you started (I've done this).

Installation
============
Move `disktool' to where you normally keep your binaries and move
disktool.man to where you normally keep your man pages.
