According to the account manager:

  "the problem is the 'df,' uptime, etc. aren't recognized by MPE"

so I guess that limits what the compiled client would be able to do anyway...

Now, if I can just get them to let me have access to their precious
development system... :)

I think I'm just going to have to stick to the SNMP query - at least I
get uptime from it.  I *think* I also get NIC throughput and some kind
of disk stats, but I'm not sure how much use the raw numbers are.

Thanks anyway, everybody.
