Hello Kris, I was wondering if you could help us a bit more with your "Pipe" knowledge.
We've used a portion of your idea below to obtain the information our professor needs (see our exec that I've attached). The professor now wants (asap of course) to add a timestamp (CP Q T) for *each* ind user command. Could you possibly look at our exec and add the additional code we need. We would truly appreciate your time and effort doing this!
Thank you Kris. Mary Zervos VM Systems Programmer Binghamton University 607-777-6158 Kris Buelens wrote:

My question is, which vm software to use and how to collect the data in a file to send the professor. The professor will use his own program to extract the data he needs from the file.
