Well I guess there should!
However, there are no immediate plans for a full new release of PCP
for IRIX. I suppose we could consider relaxing the pmcd license
for IRIX6.5.8.

You can buy the PCP monitor tools for Linux as part of the (soon to be
released) Advanced Clustering Environment (ACE) product from SGI,
assuming SGI will let you buy the CD without hardware. Do you think
there would be any interest if we offered the monitor tools for linux
as a product in it's own right?
Thanks for your interest in PCP.
