What Is the Complete System Performance Monitor?The Comp order fioricet ete System Performance Monitor (CSPM), written by Don Dupuis ofCompaq Computer Corporation order fioricet is a graphical tool that monitors a Linux®system's CPU, memory, storage, network, and IRQ order fioricet utilization. CSPM gathers allthe data automatically and then generates histogram displays order fioricet f system usage.--------------------------------------------------------------------------- order fioricet -3. RequirementsCSPM V1.0 and later require the following: * Red Hat Linux 7.2 or later, order fioricet andrake 8.2 or later, or any Linux kernel that has Stephen Tweedie's sar or sysstat pat order fioricet h applied (such as 2.4.20). * The Trolltech Qt 3.0 or later C++ application developmen order fioricet environment, which is available for download from Trolltech for free. -------------- order fioricet --------------------------------------------------------------4. Installing CSPM and its r order fioricet quirementsThis section describes how to acquire the Qt application developmentenvironment order fioricet nd install CSPM.-------------------------------------------------------------------------- order fioricet --4.1. Installing Qt 3.0 or laterQt 3.0 or later must be installed on the system before yo order fioricet install CSPM.Follow these steps to acquire and configure Qt: 1. Download the Qt X/11 Free order fioricet Edition from [www.trolltech.com] http:// www.trolltech.com for the latest version of Qt order fioricet 2. Follow Trolltech's instructions for installing Qt. 3. Run ./configure with the - order fioricet hread switch to the configure program so that Qt is installed to run in multithreaded m order fioricet de. # ./configure -thread 4. Be order fioricet ure to export the variables QTDIR and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as described in the Qt installat order fioricet on instructions that are downloaded with the software. ------------------------------ order fioricet ----------------------------------------------4.2. Installing CSPMThe following sections d order fioricet scribe how to download and install CSPM. These stepsmust be run by the root user. The inst order fioricet llation process creates a directorycalled spm and places all the files in that directory.- order fioricet ---------------------------------------------------------------------------4.2.1. Installi order fioricet g from rpmFollow these steps to install CSPM from the rpm file: 1. Download the CSPM rpm f order fioricet le from SourceForge at [http://sourceforge.net/ projects.cspm] http://sourceforge.net/p order fioricet ojects/cspm. The program name for CSPM is spm2. 2. Install the software: # rpm -i order fioricet v --nodeps spm2-1.0-1.586.rpm The rpm creates the order fioricet binary call spm2 in the current directory. --------------------------------------------- order fioricet -------------------------------4.2.2. Installing from tarFollow these steps to install CSP order fioricet from the tar file: 1. Download the CSPM tar file from SourceForge at [http://sourceforge.net/ projects.cspm] http://sourceforge.net/projects/cspm. The program name for CSPM is spm2. 2. Untar the spm2.tar.gz file: # tar xvzf spm2.tar.gz 3. Compile CSPM: # make all The make command creates the binary call spm2 in the current directory. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------4.3. Starting the CSPM monitorThe spm2 program should be run by a user other than root so that any changesto the default preference settings can be changed.Enter the following command from the directory where CSPM is installed:# ./spm2
