folks, we're looking for a monitoresque (a la hp) program for aix. this screen-based program displays processes, attributes of a specified process, swap space usage, network usage, disk io, and just about any other thing someone might want to monitor. it is useful for system administrators and programmers alike (it's great for pointing out memory leaks or unclosed file descriptors). screens are updated every second (by default). does anyone know of such an animal for aix? -- --bw ----- Bill Wohler <wohler@sap-ag.de> <sapwdf!wohler> Heidelberg Red Barons Ultimate Frisbee Team

I was just going to announce my monitor program in this weekend.
I've been making one of a kind monitor for AIX3.1. It's named monitor
and first level version (v1.01) is available from anonymous ftp-site
ftp.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) in directory pub/unix/AIX/RS6000.
Monitor shows cpu distribution, runnable processes, loadavg,
free&total real and virtual memory, paging information, system calls
(read,write,exec,fork), file-io status, tty-io, physical disk reads,
writes and busylevel and finally network writes and reads.
The loadavg part and user interface part is not quite perfect yet but
I'm going to change it. Anyway, you can get this program and use it
as it is.
Sample output of monitor v1.01 while ftp:ing big file between two rs/6000s.

It is availible from: mts.sfu.ca login: anonymous password: your_id binary get tsup:monitor-1.01 monitor-1.01.tar.Z Note that this is an IBM mainframe (running MTS) so the file name gets truncated slightly. As well the wildcard character is a ? not a * . Either cd tsup: followed by ls ? or ls tsup:? will get you a file listing if you want one for something (like me messing up the file name for instance!). The links into Canada from the NFS net are also only 56K so if some U.S. site would like to pick this up as well that would be great!
