What were you trying to do?
Check cluster status
What's wrong:
cview reports 5 free RS/6000's in m16-034. Looking around, I
see at least six and maybe three (if the three whose monitors I can't
see with no one sitting at them are logged out and not just
screensaved). Also, earlier today it had the same report for m16-034,
when in fact there was at most one or two free machines. In other
words, the data is incorrect.
(aren't they also not RS/6000's, but Powerstations?)
The timestamp at the top of the listing is correct.
What should have happened:
Data should be correct.
Is there some reason why cview data is so unreliable? It seems like it
ought to be possible to collect and report this information much
more accurately than cview and xcluster actually do.
