What's new in Watsup 3.4
Nov 15, 2015
- Watsup was recently revised to use lm-sensors to get the CPU temperature. The time required can range from 0.001 to 0.5 seconds or more, depending on the computer. The desktop freezes during this time, possibly causing jerky mouse motion or other problems in the user interface. An alternative has now been implemented: specify a file path where the CPU temperature is updated by the kernel (this is a file mapped into main memory). Unfortunately there is no standard and the user must find this file and enter it into the Watsup settings dialog.
New in Watsup 1.8 (Jun 22, 2009)
- Corrected: usage on an Intel Core-i7 processor (8 threads) caused extra blank lines in the output.
New in Watsup 1.7 (Mar 31, 2009)
- When a subprocess terminates, its cpu time is added to the parent process, causing one sample interval to show a ridiculous spike of CPU usage. From the viewpoint of a system monitor, this is a double count. This release of watsup tries to detect this and supress the spike.
New in Watsup 1.6 (Mar 3, 2009)
- Process I/O statistics are now working, at least for Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 (pre-release).
New in Watsup 1.4 (Nov 17, 2008)
- bug fix: some disks not included in I/O statistics
