- *** VolumeWatch ***
- ===================
-
- A quick coded but useful tool for all volume watchers!
-
-
- SHORT:
- Opens a window and displays informations about all
- your volumes. Takes care of diskchanges and is able
- to 'watch' all volumes.
-
- INSTALL:
- Drag the program with its icon to SYS:WBStartup, if
- you want to use it always.
-
- REQUIRED:
- AmigaOS 3.0 and a 68020. Enough volumes ;-)
-
- FILES:
- VolumeWatch
- VolumeWatch.info (please draw me a better icon!)
- VolumeWatch.doc (this file)
-
- USAGE:
- Sorry, it can only be started from CLI, no Workbench-
- Tooltypes support yet!
- But the supplied icon shows how to use it from workbench!
-
- CLI Template:
- "PUBSCREEN/K,WIDTH/K/N,LEFT/K/N,TOP/K/N,INTERVAL/K/N,NOFULL/S"
-
- PUBSCREEN: (option not required, keyword sensitive)
- The name of a public screen. Default is the DEFAULT
- Public Screen (normally the Workbench Screen)
-
- WIDTH: (option not required, keyword sensitive)
- Specify the width of the window (the height will
- be calculated). Default is 1/5 of the Screen Width.
- In a prior version I've tried a best-fit algorithm,
- but due to very long volumenames this is the best
- method. I use a WIDTH of 200 pts.
-
- LEFT, TOP: (options not required, keyword sensitive)
- Where to place the window. Specifying values out
- of the screen will place the window in the resulting
- corner(s). Default is the upperleft corner.
-
- INTERVAL: (option not required, keyword sensitive)
- The polling interval in seconds for the volumescan.
- This means if you specify a 2, each two seconds
- the volume information is updated. Default is NO
- INFORMATION UPDATING (but recognizing diskchanges).
- Good values are 5,10,15,.. seconds, depending on
- your configuration.
-
- NOFULL: (option not required, keyword sensitive)
- Some volumes, like RAM: or virtual volumes like
- PROC: etc. are always 100% full. With this option
- set, all 100% full volumes will be skipped.
-
- THANKS:
- Must go the author of "FreeSpace" for the inspiration,
- but his tool wasn't dynamical.
