I was wondering if anyone has a program to periodically monitor the performance of a Unix machine. What I have in mind is a program that sits around and every now and then writes some statistics to a file, like disk activity, cpu utilization, network load, etc. We would like to run this on a Sun station, but any BSD 4.2 program would do. Thanks for any pointer, -Dave

I don't have such a program but look at Sun's rstatd(8) daemon that perfmeter uses, then look at /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.h, uh huh, ok, get to work! -Barry Shein, Boston University
