monitor
System info and process monitor.
Comprises the
monitor
, fps
, uptime
, loadavgLED
commands, as well as the
loadavgd
daemon.
AIX
Configuration (AIX 3.2, V1.12)
Seems to work out-of-the-box.
Configuration (AIX >=4, V2.x)
To allow ordinary users to use monitor
on AIX, access to /dev/mem and /dev/kmem has to
be enabled. This is accomplished by means of
acl
options.
-
Check if the group
kmem
exists (lsgroup kmem
).
If not, create it, either locally or on the appropriate NIS server.
-
Create (or use an already existing) file
monitor.acl
base permissions
owner(root): r--
group(system): r--
others: ---
extended permissions
enabled
permit r-- g:kmem
permit r-- g:kmem
permit r-- g:kmem
(Existing acl
-options can be read out by
aclget /dev/mem > monitor.acl
)
-
Set the
acl
-options
aclput -i monitor.acl /dev/mem
aclput -i monitor.acl /dev/kmem
-
Modify the binary's permissions:
chgrp kmem monitor
chmod g+s monitor
Note:
-
acl
-options do no survive cloning (as of AIX 4.3).
- Each AIX release/version might need its appropriate
monitor
version.

To allow all users to monitor
change the binary:
chgrp kmem monitor
chmod g+s monitor
