- What *sort* of system? There are a couple of management modules that plug
- into DECmcc to allow it to monitor and manage systems (Ulrix or VMS or other
- O/Ss I think).
-
- One of these is POLYCENTER System Census (pray you don't lisp) and will be
- going to SSB (our software release house) this month... It 'looks at' attached
- devices etc for Ultrix and VMS (poss others), license database, user accounts,
- printers, blah blah blah... Hopefully I can get someone from the group to
- chime in here...
-
- There's another module that plugs into DECmcc (internally) called UDM (Unix
- Distributed Manager). It allows monitoring and control of remote Ultrix and
- ?? systems from DECmcc. (I'm sure that we'll have a similarly awkward name
- for it before it ships...)
-
- There's also a module called the Data Collector AM that ships with the basic
- system along with sample source code. Using this module, you can develop
- progams, shell scripts or DCL procedures that monitor system status (e.g. check
- disks periodically) and send various sorts of (user-definable) events of
- different severities into a DECmcc system....
