Hi! I'm still awaiting review for the libstatgrab package.

libstatgrab: Make system statistics

Description:
Libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in
C and presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used
to access key system statistics. The current list of statistics
includes CPU usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
network traffic, disk I/O, and more.

The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux, and FreeBSD
4.x/5.x.
The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems as possible.

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar,
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the
statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of libstatgrab
to people writing scripts or anything else that can't easily make C
function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to generate an MRTG
configuration file to use statgrab.

SRPM/SPEC:

Please review or approve it!

Thanks,
