Pre-requisite

Required: gtk+, imlib

Optional: None

Functionality

• Calendar Clock (*1)
• CPU (capable of monitoring multiple CPUs)
• Proc
• Disk (e.g. sd, ssd)
• Internet (including IPv6 socket connections)
• Net (hme, qfe and so on)
• Memory (supporting system memory < 4GB only)
• File System
• Mail (*1)
• Uptime

*1: Not by Solaris-specific code but by original code written by Bill.

• CPU/Motherboard - Temperature, Voltages and Fan RPM
• APM
• Net Timer (PPP)
• swap in/out chart

Temperatures are not available on every Solaris system. I don't personally have any Solaris systems on which I can get info on temperature or voltages. So I'm not highly motivated to work on these. Solaris (for x86) kernel doesn't provide support for APM, so APM support would probably never come up.

Note

Tested on the following environment:

• Ultra 1, Solaris 8, 32-bit kernel, gcc-2.95.3, glib/gtk+-1.2.10, imlib-1.9.10
• Ultra 60, Solaris 8, 64-bit kernel, gcc-2.95.2, glib/gtk+-1.2.8, imlib-1.9.8

compiled as a 32-bit binary executable on both of these cases. I haven't tested on architecture other than sun4u (i.e. x86, sun4m and so on).

Sascha Ferlej, however, reported that it successfully compiled and worked on Solaris for x86 (Solaris 7 too).

For bug reports, comments, suggestions or anything, feel free to drop me an e-mail at dxy@acm.org.
