Archive-name: unix/admin/pmon/1991-01-14 Archive: gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/DEC/pmon.tar.Z [16.1.0.2] Original-posting-by: mogul@jove.pa.dec.com (Jeffrey Mogul) Original-subject: "pmon" program ported to Ultrix Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) 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. -Jeff
