What *sort* of system?   There are a couple of management modules that plug
into DECmcc to allow it to monitor and manage systems (Ulrix or VMS or other
O/Ss I think).

One of these is POLYCENTER System Census (pray you don't lisp) and will be
going to SSB (our software release house) this month...  It 'looks at' attached
devices etc for Ultrix and VMS (poss others), license database, user accounts,
printers, blah blah blah...   Hopefully I can get someone from the group to
chime in here...

There's another module that plugs into DECmcc (internally) called UDM (Unix
Distributed Manager).   It allows monitoring and control of remote Ultrix and
?? systems from DECmcc.   (I'm sure that we'll have a similarly awkward name
for it before it ships...)                                

There's also a module called the Data Collector AM that ships with the basic
system along with sample source code.  Using this module, you can develop
progams, shell scripts or DCL procedures that monitor system status (e.g. check
disks periodically) and send various sorts of (user-definable) events of
different severities into a DECmcc system....
