It is very hard to get bytes out of HP-UX. Is this an answer for you?

Ah yes, this is what I'm after.

I managed to dig up some HP-UX man-pages, and as far as I can tell you need to use the lanscan command to determine the "PPA" numbers that are valid, and then the lanadmin command above to get the statistics for each interface card. Correct ?

In that case, I would think that the HP-UX client code should do something like

lanscan -p | while read PPA; do lanadmin -g mibstats $PPA; done

Would that work ? And does it require root privs ?

Thanks, Henrik
