allbery@ncoast.UUCP (Brandon Allbery) (10/23/86)
[I would have mailed this, but (1) someone else on the net may be interested, and (2) noise on my phone line caused rn to lose the original article so I couldn't respond to it.] I found myself in the same situation at my company, and ended writing my own system activity package. One of the special features was the ability to out- put its information as an ASCII graph which could be printed and, under some circumstances, displayed on a terminal. I could upgrade this to system V (we were running system III at the time) and add a hook to store its information in a database. (UNIFY or Informix; I don't have available any other DBMS. I can come up with something for Informix-SQL, but I don't have ESQL/C and I don't particularly trust a hybrid procedural/non-procedural language anyway.) Drop me a note if you're interested. ++Brandon (P.S. Make sure you use the TDI address in my signature; ncoast where I read news is a sys3 system and doesn't have my sources.) -- ---------------- /--/ Brandon S.
