- At my site, we have only recently discovered the 'graph_module_usage'
- (gmu) command in the VOS 'analyze_system' subsystem. This paints a
- cute bar-graphical representation on the terminal screen of how
- processing power is being consumed on the module. It reminds me of
- "monitor modes" in DEC's VMS. (Oops, to be politically correct, I
- should say "OpenVMS".)
- During certain events, such as inspections of our machine room by the
- Big Boss, it would be neat to have a screen sitting on top of the
- Stratus cabinet displaying the module-usage graph. But is it required
- that analyze_system/graph_module_usage be run from a logged-in
- interactive terminal?
-
- What I'd like would be some practical way to have analyze_system/gmu
- run from a non-interactive process, only with the graph output
- directed to a special port to which a terminal is attached. The port
- could be set to 'no_login' and no command input would be accepted.
- (I'm thinking of the threat to system security from a terminal left
- logged in without being attended to. BTW, the display formatting for
- gmu seems to require a V102 or V103 display screen.)
