QUICK-README: growspd (growspeed) monitors the growth rate of a specified file. growspd is technoware - if you use it, you must listen to techno once in a while - at a club, at home or whereever. For more information about good techno, check out www.techno.org. Start the program with no arguments for a list of options. Your terminal needs to accept ANSI-terminal codes for the output to be ok. Output explanation: "current speed" is the speed the file grew in the last second. "overall speed" is the overall speed the file is growing in, since growspd started monitoring it. growspd will only monitor regular filetypes, no pipes, sockets and so on. growspd has been successfully compiled and used on the following platforms: Platform Version Compiler --------------- ------------ -------------- Solaris/sparc 2.6 GCC FreeBSD/i386 4.0-STABLE GCC Linux/i386 2.4.x GCC Linux/sparc 2.4.x GCC Tru64/alpha 5.1a GCC Need help?
