The best option is to use SNMP. Configure and run the netsnmp or ucdsnmp packages and have an agent collect the appropriate MIBs. ESALPS does this very well. This option will also be the same for 2.4 or 2.6.
I had used the XASTOR package (I think available on the VM download site) and created a macro that was able to navigate through the control blocks of the Linux guest and produce some useful information. However, this is very sensitive to changes in the control blocks and quite hard to maintain. Neale -----Original Message----- Hi, folks. I need to be able to follow the running task structure of a Linux guest from outside the virtual machine that hosts the Linux guest. I want to be able, from a CMS guest with class E privs, discover what Linux is running and how much resources the processes are taking. Anybody got a clue, and I realize that the answer will be different for the 2.4 and 2.6 level kernels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
