Yes, the top conversion can access remote pmcd's, but currently only one at a time. What's the consensus of the people on this list? Would displaying data from multiple hosts in a single top session be generally useful?

Here's my long awaited patch. As you know, most of the changes were made to support conversion of top and libgtop to use PCP.



Will this enable us to run remote 'top' sessions via 'pmcd'? What
would be extremely cool is if it would allow us to run 'top' on cluster frontends, showing collected process info for all nodes in the cluster.



-jf (crossing fingers hoping IBMs involvement in PCP might mean they're also considering porting it to AIX :)
