OT: NMON was [RE: Directory Conventions for Utilities?]

I realize this is sort of out of the ordinary, but I run NMON in a bit
different manner.

I have NMON in its own directory - "/usr/nmon" - and added that to the
$PATH.

I have two cron entries - one for NMON and one for my own NMON daily
maintenance script.

First, I run NMON sampling from 00:00 thru 23:45 at 15 minute intervals.

Second, I run the NMON daily maintenance script (around 23:55) that sorts
the *.nmon rawdata file, packages it with gzip, and then emails the gzip'd
file with the MUTT binary. (MUTT handles unattended emails with
attachments.)

All I have to do then in the morning is check my monitoring email account
and process the files w/ the NMON Analyzer Excel spreadsheet...

And overtime - I have a daily archive of my server's performance...
