Scott, That sounds good although I know Suleiman doesn't have a WAKEUP/VMUTIL machine running. He would need to set one up and test it.

Rather than dedicating a VM userid to run this CPU monitor -- I would probably implement it under an existing userid (like VMUTIL) that is already running, waiting to do scheduled events. (In fact I do have things like this already running that do simple checking/alerting via VMUTIL) In that case - rather than a 'Do Forever' loop -- you would simply execute what's contained in that loop once, minus the CP SLEEP, and exit. You let the caller do the waiting (hopefully via WAKEUP rather than SLEEP) and call the EXEC at the desired intervals. So.. let's call this CPULOG (thanks David Juarez ;-) -- and add an option: CPULOG (ONCE The option ONCE indicates we don't loop forever and we don't sleep - but we do all the other logic and write values to files. Take this a step further in terms of sending the file. Rather than hardcoding a time check and the recipients of the report: CPULOG (SEND SULEIMAN ROHLING AT BLDVMB TOM AT KERNVM The option SEND indicates that today's (or yesterdays??) file(s) be sent via SENDFILE to the recipients listed after SEND and we just exit -- forget about any of the other logic that checks CPU values. The objective here is to make it unnecessary to hard code things into the EXEC and provide ways (from a scheduler or other userid) to invoke CPULOG, rather than dedicating a userid to sit and spin running it forever - SLEEPing 99.2% of the time. I'll code up the above options - but wanted some input first, since we're on a roll.. Scott On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 2:34 PM, Suleiman Shahin < s_s_sha...@hotmail.com> wrote: Kool again!
