OVERVIEW:
Currently we are running a mixed network with an operating system of 9.7
through 10.2, (soon to be including 10.3 with all the steps between) and a
10000 at 10.2.p. When our network was completely 9.7 we had a program to
keep track of computer usage. If there were processes running on the node,
this and the user would be noted.
From this information we were able to gather a cumulative usage of the
machines on our network, and what percentage of that time a user would be
using.
PROBLEM:
This past program was basically useless in a mixed network, furthermore, we
would like to gather more information than it provided. We would like to
record what programs are being run by the user, ( mostly mentor graphics
applications), how much time is spent on each, etc. Basically, we have
looked into the audit subsystem, and have gained a sense of inadequateness
about it. We would like to get some kind of graphical output of all these
statistics, (whether it is in an ascii type histogram or graphical output is
no matter).
QUESTION:
Is there some program out there which can handle this? or at least close to
this function? A daemon type thing would be best. The mixed OS is a kicker
for accumulating the data.
