Hey Kevin, long time no speak...

I'm curious about this item from the home page:

"Implementation of 'systat' in Java which provides the same functionality as the Linux systat packagewhich enables us to look at mean CPU, network, and disk utilization during the duration of a job for easy post-mortem performance analysis. "

How come you didn't choose to just use something like SIGAR (http://www.hyperic.com/products/sigar)?

Thanks,
Otis

I think it was just because I wasn't aware of it ... which is apparently where a lot of innovation in Open Source comes from ;)

I'll take a look before I put anymore work into the sysstat support though...

I was a bit upset that it didn't actually exist though so I'm glad it does.

I think the sys stat support is mostly done though... so I'll see if SIGAR offers any more functionality that I missed.

EDIT ... I looked at the site and it's a C library that has Java bindings. I'd prefer something that is just flat out Java... but it's not the END of the world to use something in C with a Java binding.
