There is a command line app for AIX that displays all sorts of realtime stats for the box you're logged in to, called "monitor". All you do it type "monitor" from the commandline and a "top" like program starts in the terminal window. This app, however ,monitors lots more than just the processes... like disk usage, memory usage..etc. Does anybody here know of this program?

Code:
Usage: monitor [options] AIX System monitor v2.1.7PRE7 21may2000 (c) 1991-2000 Jussi Maki (jmaki@csc.fi), Marcel Mol (marcel@mesa.nl) Monitor is a curses-based AIX system event monitor
Monitor is AIX-specific. You can find a lot of free and shareware apps that do this on OSX.
