3 # Top is very sensitive to differences in the kernel, so much so that an
4 # executable created on one sub-architecture may not work on others. It
5 # is also quite common for a minor OS revision to require recompilation of
6 # top. Both of these problems are especially prevalent on Suns. For
7 # example, a top executable made under SunOS 4.1.1 will not run correctly
8 # under SunOS 4.1.2, and vice versa. "metatop" attempts to solve this
9 # problem by choosing one of several possible top executables to run then
10 # executing it.
12 # To use metatop your operating system needs to have the command "uname"
13 # as part of the standard OS release. MAKE SURE IT DOES before proceeding.
14 # It will try to execute the command "top-`uname -m`-`uname -r`" For
15 # example, on a sparcstation 1 running SunOS 4.1.1, it will try to run
16 # "top-sun4c-4.1.1".
18 # INSTALLATION is easy. Just compile top as normal. Then use the command
19 # "make metainstall" (on the same machine!) instead of the usual. "make"
20 # will insure that this shell script is installed correctly then will install
21 # the most recently made top executable with the correct name. Remember:
22 # you will need to "make clean" and "make metainstall" on every different
23 # combination of sub-architecture and OS version that you have.
