dynamic.c is a curses based program that can be used to monitor the execution of many non-interactive UNIX commands. For example, if you wanted to dynamically monitor who is accessing a UNIX system you would enter (assuming you compiled dynamic.c calling the executable dy): dy who To exit dy press the C key while holding down CTRL. Another example, if you wanted to dynamically monitor which processes are currently being executed on a UNIX system enter: dy ps -axu (or whatever parameters you want to use with ps) NOTE - if the output of the command you are monitoring is larger than a screen load then the results may look weird.
