Software usage monitoring can do three basic tasks:
It generates software usage information (report entries).
It transfers report entries from the client (local queue) to the software usage monitoring server.
It formats and prints software report entries.
Software usage monitoring accomplishes these tasks using commands which are listed and described in Table 13-1.
Refer to the man pages for detailed descriptions of the commands.
