Free system activity software for mac

Remote Activity is like a distributed version of the Mac utility Activity Monitor: you add your remote hosts (eg clusters, supercomputers, workstations, grids) to it, and it queries them regularly for running jobs, and summarizes the status of all of your calculations in one window.

Out of the box it supports a number of batch systems — SGE, LSF, PBS, and Xgrid — and may also be used with the ps command to monitor interactive runs.

System Saver is an application-based screensaver. When sleeping, it displays icons from the System Suitcase (folder icons, the Finder icon, serial port icons, anything with type icl8) on a black field on your monitor.

The software has all the typical screensaver features (sleep now corner, user configurable delay before sleeping, etc), wake on mouse movement, etc. Supports multiple monitors.

System Modifications is a small AppleScript program designed for non-Unix users to make changes to their system otherwise requiring Unix to acomplish.

This project started as a way for me not to have to remember the long Unix commands to edit the .plist files to do these things, so I decided to share it with you.

This is only the second program Ive written in AppleScript, so Im sure it could be better. It will evolve with time.

These modifications are not supported by Apple or by me, so use this at your own risk.

Requirements:
System 7.6.

System Manager came into being from a desire to roll the functionality of several of my favourite apps into one app, increase the functionality of a few of them, and free up some Dock space.

Activity Widget is a little widget that sits on your dashboard displaying current system statistics.

Main features:
CPU Usage:
- How much processing power your system is currently using at the time. Here, red means most, if not all, system processes are being used. Yellow means about half of the system resources are being used, and green means only some or none of the system resources are being used the current time.
Disk Access:
- Shows activity in the hard drive. Lights up green when files are being written and read. No color-coding here!
Networking Monitor:
