60 Tons of proc meter

Described by the authors as a "...software equivalent of a depleted uranium lawn gnome" and the "ultimate sixty-ton cast iron lawn ornament for the desktops" MGM is a perl based load & system status meter.
I'm boggled by the fact that the thing's written in TK; it looks remarkably not-TK like.
Regrettably, I don't have a *nix box to fiddle with, so I have no first hand reports.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Monks and Nuns, I present you with The Moaning Goat Meter

For what it's worth: it works like a charm, out of the box (RH system). Very simple installation procedure. -- mave	[reply]

Oh. My. Gawd. I love it. I love the site, I love the tool, I love the code. For the record, works fine out of the box on Mandrake 7.0, Perl 5.6.0, Tk 800.022 All hail, übergeek! Peace, -McD	[reply]
MGM is great! by orkysoft (Friar) on Mar 20, 2001 at 04:21 UTC
I found it a couple of days ago, installed it (bone easy!), and watched the fish turn :-) Actually, the fish is quite useful in helping you to see whether your system is running smoothly. Another tip: Maximize MGM so it takes up an entire virtual desktop. It fits right into Miranda's MovieOS! I bet Pitr would like it too :-)	[reply]

I love it! Love it I tell you! Install was a snap. I've always said Perl/Tk is wholly underrated and should come installed with every major Linux distro, and this will provide me with yet more ammunition to convert the unbelievers. It has found a happy home on all of my workstations. Two thumbs up. Way up :-)	[reply]
