In this use case you will create a project that keeps track of the number of processes running on a SunOs. SunOs can usually be accessed through remote execution. Compare with the Win2000 command line tool rexec. To count the number of processes running on a SunOs, execute 'ps -ef | egrep -c ".*"' within an X-Terminal, Telnet session, rexec, or other preferred tool. For example, at a DOS prompt type: c:\>rexec yourSunHost -l username "ps -ef | egrep -c \".*\""
This returns the number of processes running on your SunHost. The goal here is to continuously track and display this value in a Performance Explorer real-time chart.
