[comp.sources.wanted] Unix Run-Time Process Resource Consumption monitoring?

lwv27@CAS.BITNET (11/02/90)

Does anyone know of a package which would allow one to watch a process from
the 'outside' (ie from a non-parent process) and monitor the use of
CPU, disk, memory, etc. of a specific process?  Apparently, there is
some package on the IBM mainframe by the name of "Strobe" which is
of the nature that is being sought.

Thanks!

Outside?  How 'bout outside of the machine even?  (There probably are
better facilities for doing it on the same machine, but just for
grins, try it remotely.  And oops, you wanted just for one process...
how bout the whole machine?  And gee, I've rather strayed from what
you wanted...:)

Try
$ man rnusers
$ man rstat
on a Sun workstation. (I'm using SunOS 4.0.3)
...Err... you gotta look at the source code to find out what struct
statstime is all about, apparently.

I'd be interested in this also.
