| 3 | # Top is very sensitive to differences in the kernel, so much so that an |
|---|
| 4 | # executable created on one sub-architecture may not work on others. It |
|---|
| 5 | # is also quite common for a minor OS revision to require recompilation of |
|---|
| 6 | # top. Both of these problems are especially prevalent on Suns. For |
|---|
| 7 | # example, a top executable made under SunOS 4.1.1 will not run correctly |
|---|
| 8 | # under SunOS 4.1.2, and vice versa. "metatop" attempts to solve this |
|---|
| 9 | # problem by choosing one of several possible top executables to run then |
|---|
| 10 | # executing it. |
|---|
| 11 | # |
|---|
| 12 | # To use metatop your operating system needs to have the command "uname" |
|---|
| 13 | # as part of the standard OS release. MAKE SURE IT DOES before proceeding. |
|---|
| 14 | # It will try to execute the command "top-`uname -m`-`uname -r`" For |
|---|
| 15 | # example, on a sparcstation 1 running SunOS 4.1.1, it will try to run |
|---|
| 16 | # "top-sun4c-4.1.1". |
|---|
| 17 | # |
|---|
| 18 | # INSTALLATION is easy. Just compile top as normal. Then use the command |
|---|
| 19 | # "make metainstall" (on the same machine!) instead of the usual. "make" |
|---|
| 20 | # will insure that this shell script is installed correctly then will install |
|---|
| 21 | # the most recently made top executable with the correct name. Remember: |
|---|
| 22 | # you will need to "make clean" and "make metainstall" on every different |
|---|
| 23 | # combination of sub-architecture and OS version that you have. |
