I would like to get some information on "Performance Measurement" tools in UNIX. Are there any packages/utilities which help do this kind of a job? Any information in this regard is appreciated.... Thanks... - nagesh Email: Pabbisetty.henr@xerox.com

It is a package designed to assist in tuning a UNIX system. It is for System V (naturally :-) and slightly oriented toward the AT&T 3B line, but it should port to other hardware. -- Ken Keirnan - Pacific Bell - {att,bellcore,sun,ames,pyramid}!pacbell!pbhyf!kjk San Ramon, California kjk@pbhyf.PacBell.COM

Many vendors offer some kind of monitor program besides; ask your vendor's technical contact if they have one. Also call your vendor's marketing department to ask about "Third Party Software," packages written by other companies that are sold by them or through your vendor. To measure a specific program, try profiling. On System V, use prof. On BSD, use gprof. Sometimes this is an option to your debugger. See Jon Bentley's _More_Programming_Pearls_ book for a great introduction to profilers. Off the top of my head, but I hope it helps. -- bd
