Release Notes

Overview

This release introduces cluster monitoring support and memory information tracking for Linux systems, making loadbars more practical for managing groups of machines. The tool has also been renamed from loadbars.pl to loadbars for cleaner invocation.

Features

  • Cluster support (--cluster) — Parse /etc/clusters files from ClusterSSH to monitor entire groups of machines at once, eliminating the need to specify hosts individually.
  • Linux memory info — Initial support for displaying memory usage information on Linux systems, giving a more complete picture of system resource utilization.
  • Peak display toggle (--togglepeak) — The CPU usage peak indicator is now an opt-in feature (disabled by default), reducing visual clutter for users who don't need it. When enabled, a pk text label shows the maximum usage peak.

Breaking Changes

  • Renamed executable: loadbars.pl has been renamed to loadbars. Update any scripts, aliases, or PATH references accordingly.
  • Peak display disabled by default: If you relied on the peak usage line, re-enable it with --togglepeak or press the toggle key at runtime.

Documentation

  • Improved help text and documentation.
  • Updated CHANGELOG with release history.
