For a good telnet processor, Please check the macro language of Tera Term Pro. Also includes a SSH option. http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html (last version is from 1998, but this program really ROCKS !) Realy cool. Supports exitcodes..

It doesn't use any of the Telnet specific protocols, just connects to that port (or any port). I have the application half functioning and returning values from a Telnet server, but as I have never written a .dll before or integrated with SA before, that part will be slower. Of course I'mm willing to work with someone who's done that before to speed things up. If anyone's willing. If you send me a cleaned-up dump of a typical telnet session with your server, I'll try to make sure it will work with my check.

This may be due to ssh not being set up on this particular host. This is managed by our software vendor and there is not much I can do about it. Is it possible to modify the com check to also use telnet? I know that telnet is not secure and anyone on our lan with a sniffer could get a lot of information but there is not much I can do about it. Or if anyone else has a program that can handle this that would be great. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 1:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re:[SA-list] monitoring unix host If you ran out of diskspace then the dF check (diskspace check) for UNIX would have detected it. AS for the CPU usage, the best way to go would be SNMP (at least that's my idea about it). From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; on behalf of; Jason Passow [jasonp at mwsco dot com] I know that there is the option to monitor unix processes but I am looking for a way to monitor cpu usage on a unix host. Is anyone currently doing this? Does someone have a com check that runs a sar on a unix host? Also is there anyone who has a script that just logs into the server and returns the results to Salive? I had a server crash this weekend (ran out of hard disk space) and my current cheks all worked as I got the login prompt. I would like to find a check that actually logs in and gets the menu screen and returns to SAlive an error lvel or something. Any help woudl much appreciated. (PS I know next to nothing about unix hosts :-) God, help me to not try to RUN everything. But, if You need some help, please feel free to ASK me! dirk.
