Re: {bb} bb-top.sh, bb-axis.sh

[Andrew Davis <andrew@nccomp.com>]

Can't help you with bb-axis as I don't use it, but as I understand 
bb-top, you have to install it on each client and define an entry in 
bb-bbexttab that looks something like:

localhost : : bb-top.sh

Its worth pointing out that you can get the same results from bb-top.sh, 
but without using an add-on scripts. On your BB server simply edit the 
TOP entry for bbsys.sh to the path for top on your system. On my RH ES 3 
box, I have TOP="/usr/bin/top". Then edit the TOPARGS variable. On mine, 
I have TOPARGS="-C -b -n 1". You will need to make this change on each 
client as well. If you're in a mixed environment, such as Solaris and 
Linux, you may need to have different paths and parameters. In any case, 
after making the changes and restarting the clients, clicking on the 
"cpu" column icon on your BB display will show the output of top as well 
the loadaverage and other goodies it now shows.
