Example of Monitoring Software Usage Using a Shell Script Wrapper

The following example shows the software usage monitoring commands added to a shell script called dir_script that lists the directory in which it was called, the files in the directory, and the current date and time.

swu_rpt -p dir_script -I 295833 -s sherlock -a \
"Command1=pwd,Command2=ls,Options=-la,Command3=date" -b
pwd
ls -la
date
swu_rpt -p dir_script -I 295833 -s sherlock -a \
"Command1=pwd,Command2=ls,Command3=date" -e

In this example, two software usage report entries are created and look like the following.
