Myth OS

Daedalus · Post by **Daedalus** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:08 am

I have been working on (for a while) an OS based on the Borealis OS by Chris Giese.

Borealis is an open source OS that Chris put up as public domain. As such, I have used his OS as a base and worked from there.

A website with infos about it is at http://daedalus.hopto.org/myth.html (there is also a backup in case that isnt up.)

Any criticisms, ideas, and praise are welcomed!

A new command is now in the Myte terminal:

ps

The 'ps' command lists the current running processes.

I will develop a 'top' program once I implement my new scheduling system.

The code with the new command is not availible online yet, as nobody seems to have checked this out. If anyone wants to see it, I'll upload the changes.

I have been working hard over the last few days on this.

I have rewritten the scheduler, added the ability to 'kill' tasks, and written a 'top' application to monitor the system.

Currently a bit dumbfounded as to the VMWare part of it - it cant read the system time. And seeming to stem from this (but I cant figure out where), the Top application does not work on VMWare. If you kill it from the terminal, you see CPU usage jump right down to idle :s

Also, not sure if this is a bochs bug or not, but the time increases by over a minute every second in bochs.

Anyway, full changelog is at http://daedalus.hopto.org/changelog.txt

Feedback appreciated.
