[Orca-users] Re: Digest Number 174

[Steve Gilbert]

Norm,
	I'm doing something very similar to this right now with some
Linux clusters.  It sounds like your management is wanting the same
thing mine is.  I should be done sometime mid next week, and I'll send
you my script...although you might want to remind me...don't rely on
my memory :-)  I'm using SNMP to poll the Linux boxes, but I would try
to stick with the SE toolkit for Solaris machines.  The stuff I've
written is nothing profound (I'm definitely more of a sysadmin than
a programmer), but maybe it will help you in some way.
	Now we just need to convince some talented programmer to take
glibtop or whatever and create a truly platform-independent orcallator :-)
