Maybe I'm missing something, but... Why not just grab the system date/time at the start, again at the end, then subtract one </blockquote><div><br>How do I know the end? The clients are constantly feeding data to hobbitd_channel and they may not be coming<br>
in sequential order. I may receive data from one host twice who is right next to hobbit server before I receive<br>client data for another host which is in different country<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
from the other?? If you just print it out, the numbers should go into the log. Or generate your own log file by appending the start & end values, then process later.<div>

<br>I implemented a server side perl script using this <a href="http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/tutorials:ssmodule" target="_blank">http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/tutorials:ssmodule</a> as the template. <br><br>
I like to run it only once daily, so I put status+1d for the bb command. <br>
<br>But I need help to find out how long it takes for the script to complete for my ~300 hosts. <br><br>Currently I have it setup just like the setup in the above url, like the following. <br><br>[pca]<br> ENVFILE /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg<br>
NEEDS hobbitd<br> CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/pca.log $BBHOME<br>/ext/pca.pl<br><br>And it is taking tons of resources since it receives all the patch/pkg info from 300 servers through client channel <br>
and generate a patch report using the tool pca (<a href="http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/" target="_blank">http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/</a>) for each host. It allows us<br>to find out the patch status for all solaris boxes<br>
<br>Here is an snippet of the top processes sorted by RSS<br><br> PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP <br> 8687 hobbit 2248M 581M run 39 0 0:02:31 1.1% hobbitd_channel/1<br>

<br>If I can find out how long it takes to run I can then add an INTERVAL accordingly. I do not need to <br>process the client data more than once a day<br><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Asif Iqbal<br>PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: <a href="http://pgp.mit.edu" target="_blank">pgp.mit.edu</a><br>
