I've been thinking about the various admin/system-admin utils which other systems have and how useful they'd be under Linux.
Right now, there are a lot of utilities which are on other Unix systems which have, to my knowledge, no counterpart under Linux. All of these utilities are nothing more than windows into the kernel, revealing system characteristics, configurations, etc.
I know that this is, strictly speaking, user-space stuff, but I am not asking for the utilities, but rather if/when/how-much kernel support is there for these utilities to be written.
Comments are welcome.
Util OS presently on Comments ---- --------------- -------- sysctl BSD /proc/sys seems set up to do this sysinfo solaris I don't know of anything which comes close sar solaris ditto UERF digital u./vms syslog on steroids, but nice system reporting
Anyone else have additional candidates? I have looked under AIX, but can't find a single thing useful on this front. _____________________________________________________________________ Todd Graham Lewis Core Engineering Mindspring Enterprises tlewis@mindspring.com (Standard Disclaimers) (800) 719 4664, x2804
