Well, I just got monitor v1.3 from gatekeeper.dec.com and fired it up on our DS3100 running Ultrix3.1 . Monitor works fine, but I can't get it to work with xmon. The suggestion in the README file doesn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Oh, please send any e-mail to: bird@triumfcl.bitnet

I never tested xmon on a V3.x system. As distributed it has a V4_ULTRIX define in the Makefile that should be taken out. Upon trying to use it, I've noticed that you may have to explicitly specify "save" mode to get it to write the monitor data to stdout. Finally, once I did all this, I still couldn't get xmon to display anything. In spending a couple of moments to think about it, I realized that in "save" mode, monitor only collects sample every 10 minutes. Xmon doesn't display anything until it has the 2nd sample. So, to get it work in general: monitor mon save -sleep 2 -file - | xmon This worked on a V3.1 VAXstation and a V4.1 DECstation 3100. > > Oh, please send any e-mail to: bird@triumfcl.bitnet Looks like everybody will have the same problem, but I'll mail you a copy of this. -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.cxn.dec.com
