I think Hugo's point is that there are much easier ways to extract the information you require without bloating the your kernel. It sounds like a shell script either in Bash or Perl calling the userland functions is the best way to go. "vmstat", "uptime", "top" and "who" could be invoked and then parsed to provide an easy way to return much of the information you indicate is required. I have to echo the thoughts of Alan that posting to General is a better forum for these sorts of questions. -Paul ________________________________ From: derleader __ <derleader at abv.bg> To: The CentOS developers mailing list. <centos-devel at centos.org> Sent: Fri, December 24, 2010 10:05:01 AM Subject: Re: [CentOS-devel] Collecting data >I have a hard time trying to figure out why you would want to write a kernel >module for all >of this.
