Dear Tcl/scotty users,

I'd like to announce public domain

UNIX SNMPv2c agent version 2.1

which I made using scotty programming tool. The agent can be used for
monitoring some states of a UNIX system (users, user groups,
processes, memory, and file system).

Probably, the agent is not a typical agent one would make using scotty
because UNIX hosts usually come with much better native SNMP agents
made by the OS manufacturers. Yet, IF YOU EVER HAD DIFFICULTIES IN
WRITING YOUR OWN SNMP AGENTS USING SCOTTY, I'd suggest reading some
additional documentation on this topic which can be found with the
sources of my agent (look at the Scotty-2.0.2_SNMP_agent_manual file).

Currently, the agent runs in full on the following operating systems:
* Solaris 2.x (tested on Solaris 2.4, 2.5)
* SunOS 4.x (tested on SunOS 4.1.3C)
* ULTRIX 4.3 (new in the version 2.1)

The agent was originally written for scotty-2.0.2 but it has been
upgraded to work with scotty-2.1.x too (tested on scotty-2.1.1) --
this is the most important change since the last version (of course,
there are some bug fixes too :).

The agent also needs two additional programmes (written in C) to
operate in full: rtop and print_fstable (to install rtop, you have to
be a privileged user, i.e. root).

The agent can be retrieved by following the links in:

http://malik.srce.hr/~rpremuz/unix_agent/Index.html

Read the README and MANUAL files first. The agent is easy to configure
by running the configure.tcl script.

Best regards.
