[mod.computers.vax] PSI monitoring

ESC1111@DDAESA10.BITNET (03/11/86)

This is such an obvious thing that there must be an easy answer ...

How can we monitor the PSI activity on our system? In particular how
can we do it without being privileged users?

The sort of information required is the destination and status of each
of the virtual circuits together with some sort of running indication
of the traffic on each circuit. The idea would be to provide a tool
for the users of our system (whose major purpose is talking, via PSI,
to ground stations all over the place) so that they can see what's
happening.

A scan of the PSI documents reveals only the PSI trace analysis
utility which, as far as I can understand, will tell you what happened
in the past rather than what is happening now and also requires the
use of NCP (and thus priv's) to setup the trace information in the
first place.

I'm sure that anyone who uses PSI must have solved this problem so
...HELP!
