Yes. Other than the documentation being almost completely incomprehensible and useless for people who aren't deeply familiar with the code, it's a pretty good network and systems monitor. I'm working on some intro user docs, hopefully available later this month if I get some spare cycles (hah!). > Also, does anyone know of a CICS plug-in for it?

There aren't any CICS plugins, but depending on how your CICS app is presented, you can probably use a combination of s3270 and the existing network service plugins to do a pretty convincing simulation of one. The Nagios NRPE daemon would probably compile under USS, and then you could remotely execute REXX execs to probe various CICS things and return the output back to Nagios. If you'd like to be a test reader for the user docs I mentioned above, drop me a note offline. I have a few chapters almost ready to face a outside reader, and I'd appreciate some comments. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
