There's a great one. From X, try Batmon &. From console, you can query
the pmud directly, although I don't know the flags. The latest version of
pmud (2000/01/06) will also put your wallstreet to sleep when you close
the lid. I can't find the URL right now, but the maintainer, Stephan
Leemburg and I had a discussion of Batmon and pmud about three weeks ago
on comp.os.linux.powerpc which you could find via dejanews.
p.s. I am running on a wallstreet too.
