It depends on the information you are trying to retrieve. Some information is available via the /proc interface. Some information is available via ioctl() or similar system calls. Some information can be read from configuration or status files. Some information is not available at all :-( And when looking wider than just Linux, different O/Ss will often have very different ways of retrieving the same basic information. This is typically the hardest part of implementing a new MIB, and is the one bit that can't be automated. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
