[distcc] distcc monitors

[Tom Matelich]

IIRC, TeamBuilder displays a bar graph of the number of current jobs, time
the daemon has been up, load, and avg. ms/job per host.  But that info came
from the scheduler.

Moin,

on this rather slow sunday I was pondering writing a KDE-based monitor
for 
distcc, but then I realized that I'm not quite sure what such a monitor 
should display.

IMHO a graphical monitor should add a real additional value, maybe by
drawing 
graphs or such, it should not simply be a X version of the textmode
monitor. 
I looked at the GtK monitor but I must say I'm not terribly impressed by
it, 
as far as I can tell it displays exactly the same information as the
textmode 
client. The only difference is that I get sortable columns in the table,
and 
I don't have to start an xterm to start the monitor.

Now, how about a little brainstorming on this list about what a distcc
monitor 
should display? I was thinking, maybe a hit ratio or so would be
interesting 
(percentages how much of a project was built on each of the boxes), so
that 
one can possibly optimize the DISTCC_HOSTS line (hosts mentioned earlier
are 
preferred) or such.
