Hello. Could you suggest me how can I get my disk usage statistics in terms of percentage of the possible disk activity (like in gstat) or megabytes per second (like in iostat), please? I need something that gives actual usage statistics, not any averages. And something that prints what I want and quits (not like gstat in default mode). It have to be available for unprivileged user and I don't want to use any temporally files in the process. The closest I can get is (last column of): iostat -c 2 -d ad0 | tail -n 1 Problem is that it takes two seconds, which is not acceptable for me because I want it's output to be printed in status bar beside date and time. I'm using wmii window manager. Any suggestions and hints are very welcome. Michal -- "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." -Napoleon Bonaparte
