When run StackMon presents a list of all the tasks and processes currently
running. The list is sorted alphabetically, with processes before tasks.
This list is not updated automatically, as constructing this list requires
suspension of multitasking. If you run a program you want to monitor after
starting StackMon, click on the 'Update list' gadget so that it appears in
the list.
If the program you want to monitor was run from the Workbench, its name will
be that of the icon; if run from the shell the name is the exact name typed
into the shell, with path.
Click on the program you wish to monitor and StackMon will begin monitoring.
The display consists of numbers and a fuel gauge showing the current stack
use relative to the size of the stack. The numbers are:
Current: This is the amount of stack in use when the program was last
monitored.
Largest: The largest recorded stack ever in use by this program.
Stack : The stack allocated for this program. |
