[comp.unix.ultrix] "pmon" program ported to Ultrix

mogul@jove.pa.dec.com (Jeffrey Mogul) (01/15/91)

A few months ago, I found a program called "pmon", written by
Phil Dykstra <phil@BRL.MIL>.  Pmon is kind of like "top" with
a magnifying glass attached; it is a continually-updating
curses-based process status display.  The difference is that
pmon shows you the status of just one process at a time, in
much greater detail than top or ps.  (pstat -p comes closer,
but pmon is much more fun.)  For example, it tells you what
files the program has open, what signals are blocked, etc.

I ported the program to run on Ultrix.  I've tried the code on
these versions:
        VAX/Ultrix 3.0
        VAX/Ultrix 4.0

        RISC/Ultrix 3.1D
        RISC/Ultrix 4.0 and later
and it seems to work on all of them, although you have to recompile
for each different kernel version.

Sources are available via anon. FTP in
	gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/DEC/pmon.tar.Z
I will not respond to any requests to obtain sources by any other
means.

I will take any bug reports or suggestions for improvements, but
I can't promise anything.

      Sounds great !  Sure wish I had access to it.

    Geesh!  Prehaps, Jeff, you would be so kind then as to post 
   your code to comp.sources.unix ?  Then it would be available to
   the thousands of users who don't have FTP access ?

    In any event, would someone take a moment and email the source
   to me ?
 Thank you;

Ok, if Jeff doesn't want to handle mail distribution of pmon for Ultrix,
I will do it (I hope I don't regret this). Send mail to

	neidecker@nestvx.enet.dec.com

asking for pmon and I will try to get it back to you via email.
