What do you think of nmon?  What aspects of linuxen do you want to
monitor, yet can't?


However much I like linux, (and it's "lots") I think that omegamon for
mainframes is probably going to be more detailed than products you'll
find for linux.  Omegamon's had decades of practice, with a single
stable platform, and big business motivations to get detailed.  The
data is increasingly _there_ for linux, but /proc is not a convenient
or pleasant interface.
