Unix system monitoring
Hi,
I am relatively new to Unix. Today I have attended an interview and they asked me below questions
(a)How do you monitor Unix system?
(b)How do you know every thing is working fine?
(c)How do you know if there are any bottle necks?
(d)How do you know if any process is hanging and draining the resources?
(e)If the application is driven by exchange feeds, how do you know if the feeds are all set up correctly?
(f)Are you aware of any performance monitoring tools?
This is with respect to their application which is a trade processing application.
Please help me improve my knowledge.
Regards

is any of you using RMC for monitoring your LPARs? Is it viable?

7. Linux
Hi all,
I'm looking for the best tool to monitor the Linux system. I've found a lot of interesting tools searching the web but I didn't find one which can do all the requirments (like a one in all tool). I would prefer it to include a command line interface also.
Thank you,

MCOPY(1) General Commands Manual MCOPY(1)
NAME
mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
SYNOPSIS
mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile targetfile
mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirectory
DESCRIPTION
Mcopy copies the specified file to the named file, or copies multiple files to the named directory. The source and target can be either
MSDOS or Unix files.
The use of a drive letter designation on the MSDOS files, 'a:' for example, determines the direction of the transfer. A missing drive des-
ignation implies a Unix file whose path starts in the current directory
Mcopy will allow the following command line options:
t Text file transfer. Mcopy will translate incoming carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.
n No warning. Mcopy will not warn the user when overwriting an existing file.
v Verbose mode.
m Preserve the file modification time.
If the target file already exists, and the -n option is not in effect, mcopy asks whether or not to overwrite the file.
MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '' separator. The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the
names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the default is A:/.
SEE ALSO
mcd(1), mread(1), mwrite(1)
BUGS
Unlike MSDOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.
The '+' operator (append) from MSDOS is not supported.
No other Mtools command requires the use of a drive letter designation on MSDOS files.
