My intent has been to make these available.  I was hoping to clean them up
a bit first to make them more readily useable by others, but I simply have
not gotten time to do it.  Rather than wait, I'll try to just make them
available "as is" for now, and hopefully get them cleaned up at a later
date.  I'll start with the two you requested, plus a third which I think
you'll find useful (it shows ADSM activity per day or month).  These utils
are all written in Rexx.  We run Uni-Rexx on our AIX system, but I think
they should port pretty easily to any platform that has Rexx available on it
plus a dsmadmc client.

The third exec that I mentioned is run from a cron script, and produces
output as shown below.  There is an option on it to show monthly summary
data instead of daily.  The exec simply processes the ADSM accounting log,
dsmaccnt.log.

I'll post back here when I've made some of these utilities available.
