OSRM2
OS/2 Resource Monitor Facility - Report And Analysis Utility
OSRM2 was created to provide OS/2 users with:
The ability to observe system resource contention and
consumption in a real-time environment.
More importantly, to provide the OS/2 user, or
administrator, a data collector in which system
resource usage trends can be stored and analyzed when
considering upgrades ( CPU, memory, peripherals,
software ).
The real-time monitor can provide the performance tuner with
indicators as to cpu or memory consumption as well as IO
contention under varying workloads.
The Data Collector, available with Version 1.0, will provide
trend information to observe exactly what resources are
being impacted the most and thus guide them to configuring
for cost effectiveness, one wouldn't buy a faster CPU if
memory contention is causing swapping overhead.
As with other multitasking operating systems ( MVS, UNIX )
resources are shared in an OS/2 environment thus allowing
concurrent workloads to exist at the same time in one
system.
*** Phone Phone Book Search ***
Phone searches a user-defined phone book file for any
entry that matches any argument in the argument list.
The phone book, normally stored in file phone.txt, may
be created by any standard editor. It contains lines of
text, such as:
Digital Equipment DEC (617) 897-5111
Note that phone does not impose any format on the text,
only that the text consist of words, separated by
blanks. If a line starts with whitespace (blank or
tab), it is considered to be a continuation of the
previous line.
*** PRMON ***
PRMON.C is a simple device monitor designed to eliminate the printer
control characters added to the print data stream by IBM's Proprinter
driver for Presentation Manager. If your printer responds incorrectly
to these control characters, then PRMON may solve your problem.
The program works by setting itself up as a device monitor in the
printer chain. For every new print job that is sent through the printer
device, PRMON drops the first n records, then passes the rest untouched.
By experimenting, I have found that 5 records is the correct number to
drop for the Proprinter device driver. If you are using PRMON with
another driver, then you may need to experiment to find the correct
number for your application.
Unfortunately, OS/2's COM device driver does not support device
monitors. Thus, data being sent to a serial printer cannot be filtered
using this technique. However, once data has been received by a monitor
in the LPTx chain, there is no reason that the monitor cannot send the
data to a serial port. PRMON supports serial printers in this manner.
To use PRMON, use the PM control panel to set your printer up as a
parallel printer (even if it is really a serial printer). Then run
PRMON as a background process by issuing the following command:
DETACH PRMON LPTx n [COMx:baud,parity,databits,stopbits]
where LPTx is LPT1, 2, or 3, and n is the number of records to
be dropped from each print job. The COMx parameters are
optional, and should only be used if you want to redirect
the output to a serial printer.
