README

The source is in with the rest of the source. Go into src/aajm, and type "make"

• From inetd: put this line in /etc/services:

  aajm            55001/tcp

  and this to /etc/inetd.conf:

  aajm    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  aajm

  then telnet to port 55001 on the host
• In someone's web browser: grab this, put it on your php-enabled web server someplace with a compiled binary in it, and point a browser at it
• In ultra-high res:

  AAOPTS="-driver slang -width 480 -height 300" \
          xterm -fn micro -geometry 480x300 -e ./aajm -s 7
  

• As a system status monitor:

  xterm -fn micro -geometry 40x15 -e \
  	./aajm -driver slang -width 40 -height 15 -jln 0.2
  

• As a system runlevel/healthstatus monitor: add this to /etc/inittab:

  s1:012345:respawn:/sbin/aajm -driver stdout -height 22 -d 500 -jiln 0.2

  And use the following init script, linked in each rc{0-5}.d:

  #!/bin/sh
  /sbin/aajm-remote --siteswap=$RUNLEVEL
  

• As a screensaver, especially within screen. Add this to your .screenrc:

  idle 600
  blankerprg aajm -driver slang -j -T 10 -S 10
  

Suggestions welcome, of course
