What is 'rushtop'?

'rushtop' graphs the Cpu and Memory use of all the rush processors in real time, similar to the SGI utility 'gr_osview'.

Using Rushtop

rushtop' from the command line, and the GUI should come up by default displaying all the processors, updating the screen once per second.

Under 'Cpu', blue indicates the amount of cpu used by user processes, red indicates the amount of cpu used by the operating system. There is one bar per physical processor on the machine.
Under 'Ram', blue indicates the amount of ram being used by all programs running on the machine.
Under 'Swap', blue indicates the amount of swap space claimed on the machine.

You can limit the graph to show only particular machines, or even +hostgroups by supplying them on the command line:

`rushtop`	*# monitor all rush hosts (default)*
`rushtop +linux`	*# monitor only machines in the '+linux' hostgroup*
`rushtop +linux +sgi`	*# monitor only machines in the '+linux' and '+sgi' hostgroups*
`rushtop tahoe huron`	*# monitor only hosts 'tahoe' and 'huron'*

Here's part of a large render farm; you can use the scroll bar to see all the processors:
