February 2002) of weekly monitoring and presents the long-term behavior of most of the known X-ray pulsar systems. During this time, 16 X-ray pulsars were discovered by [[*RXTE*]{}]{}, at the same time many discoveries were made by [[*ASCA* ]{}]{}and [[*BeppoSAX*]{}]{}, bringing the number of known X-ray pulsars in the SMC to 30.

Long term pulsed-flux lightcurves of all pulsars observed during the project are presented. Twenty pulsars were positively detected in the data presented in this paper, and upper limits were placed on 6 other known pulsars that were not detected during this time. In the case of 15 systems, multiple X-ray outbursts were observed, raising the possibility of determining orbital periods. Interpretation of the findings, in terms of the overall SMC population is discussed.

[[*RXTE* ]{}]{}is particularly well suited to monitoring pulsars in the SMC. The Proportional Counter Array (PCA) is able to cover a significant fraction of the SMC at sufficient sensitivity to detect active pulsars with luminosities in the typical range 10$^{36}$-10$^{38}$ . The spectral response is also favorable as the construction of the PCA provides its optimum sensitivity across the peak of the typical pulsar spectrum. The PCA’s full-width zero intensity (FWZI) field of view is
