+cat << EOF
+procstatd is a daemon that can be run either from userspace or inetd 
+that can be queried via a simple API to parse various files in /proc
+and transform them into statistics. The returned data is in a simply 
+parsable ASCII string (in a single packet) and might be used to, for 
+example, drive a simple display. The nice thing about it is that by 
+running procstatd's on all nodes of a beowulf or cluster, users or 
+managers can (with suitable front-end tools) see what the loads and 
+so forth are. The package contains also a perl script (webwatchd) 
+for generating a simple html page with the statistics of the nodes.
