Not sure what you mean by Ultrix Servers? Are you trying to poll Ultrix
servers or run Net_Response from Ultrix. The Net_Response I have is run on
vms and can poll any DECnet node.

We put it into a batch job and have it poll multiple sites once an hour for
our trend analysis. The batch job schedules the polling, reformats the output
to more useful file names, and provides averaging for the day also. It is one
of my earliest hacks (and looks it) but it has been running for years with
fairly good results. We have it running at about a dozen sites monitoring 40
or so circuits total.
We also use nrm which is another internally derived tool but requires software
to be resident at the remote sites as well. For this reason we use the
Net_Response solution for backbone to regional connections which cuts back on
the amount of hassles because we don't own any remote systems in the regions.
I don't believe nrm is an asset tool.
There are also ip hacks floating around which essentially put ping into scripts
and format the output.
best regards,
brad...
