Monitoring DFS Servers and Clients

· Use the BOS server to continually monitor DFS server processes. You define which processes the BOS server monitors, and you control server process status by issuing bos commands to perform routine maintenance or to correct errors in addition to those the BOS server handles. You can also use bos commands to restart DFS weekly. See the OSF DCE DFS Administration Guide and Reference for details about the BOS server and how to use bos commands.

· Use the scout program to monitor the File Exporter, which runs on File server machines. The File Exporter makes DFS files available to client machines. The scout program collects and displays information about the machines you select to monitor. It displays information such as disk usage and the number of connections a machine has.
