Glance in shell

[Praveen Bezawada]

Hi
Can glance be used to collect system data in a shell script.

Yes, you can run glance in adviser mode as follows:

glance -adviser_only -syntax mysyntax -j60 > glance.out

You can replace mysyntax with any other customized syntax file (see directory /opt/perf/examples/adviser for some examples), or with the default syntax file:
/var/opt/perf/adviser.syntax

This command line will run indefinitely, so if you want it to terminate after so many iterations, try using -iterations option (see man pages for glance)

Hi,
you can find a manual about adviser syntax in
your server:
/opt/perf/paperdocs/gp/C/adviser.pdf

and all glance metrics in
/opt/perf/paperdocs/gp/C/metrics.pdf
