Very Computer

        I am wondering which performance monitor does the AIX flavor of
UNIX use? I've tried searching for perfmeter, xmeter, xload, meter...
i may have missed some unknown version unless my company didn't install
any at all. I'm used to Solaris, and I have not a clue as to which one AIX
uses... Thanks in advance.

Basic AIX does not come with all those bells and whistle monitors.  You
get the basics:  vmstat, iostat, netstat, sar and good ole' ps.

You can purchase a graphical toolkit (AIX Performance Toolbox) but I am
sure it ain't cheap.  There are some other addons (filemon, systune
etc.) but they are probably not what you are looking for.  Your best
bet?  Go to the Web and pull down the source for 'monitor'.  It does a
pretty good job, has a curses interface and best of all, it's free.
