Hello managers,

after i've sent out my first summary to the list, i've got two new
interesting mails, which i think may be interesting for some of you too:

"Doug Pajtas" <Doug.Pajtas_at_MCI.Com>
gave me the pointer to the sold Performance Advisor, which we used to use
as long as we had du-3.2c (and Campus)

He said:
> CA uni-center sells a product called PolyCenter Performance advisor
> which works very well! We also use Patrol from BMG software that gives
> you very good break down of cpu and memory use. All the lastest DU
> docs are located on the digital web site.
>
> http://www.UNIX.digital.com/faqs/publications/pub_page/pubs_page.html


and Randy has some fine free utilities on his ftp-server.

"Randy M. Hayman" <haymanr_at_icefog.sois.alaska.edu> said:
> About your memory concerns... I've written a number of utilities which

Many thanks!
