[CALUG] Linux resource usage

[Jim Sansing]

I googled for 'linux system performance monitor' and most of it was old
and explained how to use top, vmstat, and iostat.  But there is a Perl
program that claims to be a step up called collectl
(http://collectl.sourceforge.net/).  See if it does the trick, and if so
let us know.

Later . . .   Jim
