I have sent the following updates to Digital's "Freely Available Software"
page maintainer to update the URL:

http://www.digital.com/info/misc/pub-domain-osf1.txt.html

Not all of the utilities have been updated, but the URLs are now directories
so that they will always get you to the newest versions.

software-name: pak_list
pointer: ftp://raven.alaska.edu/pub/randy/license_utils/
description: Utility to list Digital License PAK information in another
                format. Also useful as a cron job to periodically mail
                information to a group of staff about PAKS expiring within
                # number of days. Particularily useful for participants of
                Digital's TEI program. The Korn shell script break_out_paks.ksh
                in the same directory makes individual scripts for loading
                and deleting individual paks from Digital's CSLG pak
                distribution file.

software-name: proc_info
pointer: ftp://raven.alaska.edu/pub/randy/proc_info_utils/
description: Displays various information about a selected process:
                Resource usage and limits, Signal usage, Environmental
                variables, etc... This version will also allow system
                managers to dynamically alter resource limits (ulimit/rlimit)
                of another process to either the hard limit or unlimited.
                Useful for things like daemons and database servers started
                from a resource-limited account.

software-name: syd-3.2a
pointer: ftp://raven.alaska.edu/pub/randy/perf_mon_tools/
description: Updated version of my patched version of syd-3.1-k08 to
                provide entire string of argument buffer which is the
                entire command line string of the processes. Particularily
                useful if running multiple instances of Oracle which
                changes all shared server processes to show them to be running
                "oracle", now can be shown as "ora_s###_". Also useful for
                system administrators of systems where users may execute such
                abstracted commands as "/bin/sh -c ./crack /etc/passwd" since
                that entire string is displayed. Updated reference page to
                reflect these changes also. syd-3.2 only displays the first
                string in the argument buffer.

                from Digital UNIX systems (v3.n-v4.0), log it locally, and
                provide snapshots to local or remote systems as requested.
                Server daemon sends to clients via locally defined TCP port.
                Provides for 15 or 30 minute (easily modified for other)
                log intervals of CPU average, Processes (min/max), Memory
                (min/max).

                Security suite of tools to provide account management.
