[Orca-users] Re: Orca

Hello,

The Orca Perl script runs on any OS, but currently the only data
gathering tool runs on Solaris.

Here are some ideas from my TODO file:

* OS independent data gathering tools:

        Many people have been asking for Orca for operating systems
other
        than Solaris, since orcallator.se only runs on Solaris hosts.

        I've given this a little thought and one good solution to this
is
        use other publicly available tools that gather host information.

        The one that came to mind is top
(ftp://ftp.groupsys.com/pub/top).
        Looking at the configure script for top, it runs on the
following
        OSes:

            utek       Tektronix 43xx running UTek 4.1

        If somebody were to write a tie into top's source code that
would
        generate output every X minutes to a text file or even RRD
files,
        then Orca could put it together into a nice package.

        In line with this di
        (ftp://ftp.pz.pirmasens.de/pub/unix/utilities/), a freely
        available disk usage program that could be used to generate disk

        usage plots loaded by Orca.
