Performance Monitoring script for UNIX servers

Hi,

I have been working on writing an automated script that will run 24x7 to monitor the performance parameters like CPU,Memory,Disk I/O,Network,SWAP Space etc for all types of Unix servers ( HP-UX,AIX,SOLARIS,LINUX).

Problem is I am confused with the commands top,prstat,vmstat,free,sar etc.

Can anyone help me to understand which is the best command that provides info about CPU and Memory for all or individually(Solaris,AIX,Linux,HP-UX).

Also please share any of the scripts you have for monitoring the performance of Unix servers and any other parameters that are needed to monitor to judge the performance of an Application or Database Server



Thanks in advance....

Regards
