1#! /bin/sh 2# 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. 11# 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". 17# 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. 24# 25exec $0-`uname -m`-`uname -r` "$@" 26
