Answer:
The system is running Adrian Cockroft's public domain system
monitoring package.
Pkginfo displays
application RICHPse The SymbEL Interpreter
application RICHPsex The SE eXtensions Package
application ANCrules Adrian's Rules & Tools
More info can be found at
http://www.sun.com/960601/columns/adrian/se2.5.html
(This is the latest - will run on 2.5.1)
A brief description:
SymbEL (known as SE) is an interpreted language that provides an extensive
toolkit for building performance tools and utilities. If you are fed up
with the limitations of vmstat, iostat and sar, then
this is the tool for you. We provide trivial scripts that are
improved versions of the basic utilities and build on them to
provide powerful rule-based performance monitors and viewers. The
extensions package includes a Motif-based GUI library and the rules package
implements the complete Appendix A ruleset of the bestselling reference
book Sun Performance and Tuning: SPARC and Solaris by Adrian Cockcroft
from Sun Microsystems Press/Prentice Hall.
