I think they're useful tools, but that they're limited by being point solutions. I've got some like that too. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with them, but what I don't want is to have lots of different commands to get different facets of a system - rather, I would like fewer commands capable of giving different views. But what these do show is that some existing tools are deficient. I *really* like the swapinfo output - why can't the swap command give something this useful? And surely netstat ought to be giving something like nicstat? -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
