I started to do a port myself but ran into trouble without having the programers reference manuals. I know of the monitor routine, but not the "moitor" program. Does this perform a function similar to "top"? Is decwrl a piece of an ftp site name?

Decwrl is the uucp/mail name for DEC Western Research Lab, The system there for anonymous ftp access is gatekeeper.dec.com. There are versions of top and monitor available there with Ultrix changes included. Top is basically a process display, while monitor is more IO/resource oriented, or in other words, top does ps(1) type things, while monitor does more vmstat(8). -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

gatekeeper.dec.com is the machine where you can get monitor for ultrix, if Im not mistaken (pub/DEC/monitor.tar.Z).

I haven't seen the posting to which this is a response, I think I can guess. The current monitor distribution consists of two archives on gatekeeper.dec.com: pub/DEC/monitor.tar.Z pub/DEC/monitor_v4src.tar.Z The first archive has the V3.0/V2.2 sources, some example programs, stuff that vaguely resembles documentation, the error message manual, etc. This distribution was made around the same time as V3.1{A,B,C} were released. It might work on V3.1B (VAX 6000- 400). The sources in this archive won't even compile on V4.0. This is Monitor V1.2. The other archive has sources suitable for V4.0 VAX and RISC systems and as many V3.1 varients on which I could test. Since I also added a couple of features and fixed a couple of bugs, this is Monitor V1.3. When I get the time to clean up the dozen or so new examples programs I've written since then and write a new manual page, I'll build a new distribution that has everything. -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.enet.dec.com
