I wrote a script which which outputs something like this:

disk-/ disk-/usr disk-/var load-1min load-5min load-15min net-fxp0-Ipkts net-fxp0-Ibytes net-fxp0-Opkts net-fxp0-Obytes httpd-No dannyman-Mail dannyman-Read 
9 13 4 9.29 8.92 8.92 66945259 438739721 70390180 1499213003 11 601 571 

I put that in /etc/inetd.conf, restart inetd, and dump those files on to
the Orca host every five minutes with netcat:
nc never ccmail > never.data

ccmail is the port number I use because it is already in my
/etc/services, and I never intend to run it. :)
