Solaris CPU/memory status monitoring (Shell script or c++)
i'm trying to find a way to monitor the CPU/Memory status of a solaris station using vmstat. I like to write a small script to periodically run vmstat and store the output. Can anyone show me how (preferrably in C++ if possible)? Thanks in advance.

Why C++ to do something that a shell script seems better suited to ?

No reason really, i'm just not familiar with shell script. Shell script is also find if you already have one that i can use?

I have no script available but that would be trivial to write a oneliner called from the crontab to achieve that.

It would help if you describe better your requirements.

"Periodically run vmstat"
Code:
 EDITOR=vi crontab -e
...
<when> <what>

with "when" being something depending on the sampling interval you are looking for and "what" being:
"run vmstat and store the output":
Code:
 vmstat options > outputfile.timestamp

There are many free and commercial tools that would do a better job to collect and display that data though.

I'm looking at crontab now to see how it works. Thanks a lot for pointing that out.
