Hi Guys,
I've missed this thread... , if some contributor wants to improve VIEW
LOG(S) please feel free to do it, there's so many missed features that
can be done...
ATM I'm re-coding memphis in order to use new metrics found in the
latest kernels, if you want I can retake Analize Activity and improve
it a little bit...
cheers.
Eduardo.
