i added some bits to my copy of stats(1) that allows tracking of /net/ether0 and /net.alt/ether1 simultaneously and scales the max by the link speed, not the number of processors. it didn't take long for this to be useful. this morning i noticed that there was quite a noticable load on my dsl line (25pps) and 54 tcp connections to port 25 in... more »

power64 architecture v. fossil
|
| |
amuzing bug 'o the day. while 9c isn't in the standard distribution, if one has OS=9* and does a mk clean in /sys/src/cmd/fossil, you will remove 9.h since 9.h looks like a temporary name for a command named "h" for the power64 architecture. - erik

Examples of rc scripts
|

Hi, all, I found 'werc' in a wikipedia link, and used it as a source for examples of how to use rc. Are there other places where I can found rc scripts, as well as other scripts for plan9 tools? (By the way, do you know how can I attribute a here document to a variable?) Thanks, Maurício

latency & jitter resistant stats
|
| |
i was having some trouble with stats reporting higher ethernet throughput when my connection to the cpu server was getting busy. here's a little experiment that works around the problem by reducing the sleep time by the time it takes to make the samples. as a secondary connection, if the sampling time exceedes 1/4 of the... more »
