| • | pstat: | A group of tools for monitoring and reporting on processes. |
| • | ppath: | A (more) parsable version of the "multipath" command. |
| • | ethtest: | A cron-able utility to watch and report on mis-configured or excessive errors on Ethernet devices. It reports via syslog, stdout, HP's ITO Console, or remote syslogging. |
| |
| AIX Specific |
|---|
| • | mvdev: | A script used to change disk device names. |
| • | sread: | A stanza file reader. Use this utility to retrieve individual "rows" or "columns" from stanza files. |
