Re: OpenVMS System Management

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!!!

Re: OpenVMS System Management

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

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.

Re: OpenVMS System Management

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.
