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.

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.
