How can I redirect the ouput of the "mon cluster" to a file?

Christian,

Welcome to VMS!!

$ Moni /clus/record=

Many more options are available!

$ Help monitor monitor

will tell you (almost) anything you'll want.

... IF you are monitoring to a file, then you might look to /beginning, /ending, and /interval as well!!!

Success

Jan

Hi,

Jans solution is probably what you need.
If you need to have the results in a text file (for presentation etc...) you can do:

$ define/user sys$output monitor.txt
$ monitor cluster /ending=END_TIME

Bojan,

do i have to execute your commands before the ones that Jan mentioned?

Hi,

No.

My and Jans commands are two different things. You can use one or other independent or you can cobine both.

Jans commands saves the statistics in a binary file. You can then run the monitor command with the /input qualifier an the monitor will show you the statistics saved in the file.

My command is only to save the contents, which are displayed on the screen, in a text file. This is only useful if you want to print or present in any other way the statistics.

But I think that the easiest way is to try this commands and take a look to the VMS help by typing HEL MONITOR.

You may want to check SYS$EXAMPLES:MONITOR.COM
as an example to set up an automatic monitoring.

MONITOR CLUSTER/RECORD=file
writes the binary data to a file which you can play back using MONITOR/INPUT=file.

MONITOR CLUSTER/DISPLAY=file
would write ascii text screenshots to the file - one per display interval. Probably not what you want.
