[Orca-users] Re: Mimicking ORCA data gathering on IBM AIX

[Blair Zajac]

This is great stuff.  Orca running on AIX would be great.

What is the format of aixmonitor's flat files?  It may be easier just to
modify them slightly into a format that Orca understands instead of
introducing another process, in this case Perl, to manipulate the output
files.

Can you send the first several lines of output?

Best,
Blair
