What Can Software Usage Monitoring Do
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.
Note -
Refer to the man pages for detailed descriptions of the commands.
