I don't have one but this may help:

Per info in this doc (http://www.hp.com/products1/evolution/e3000/download/mpeix70.pd), a C compiler should be available. How can you run Apache, Samba, BIND, etc without a C compiler.

Other potential useful sites: MPE/iX and HP e3000 Technical Documentation http://docs.hp.com/en/mpeixall.html

HP MPE/iX software http://www.hp.com/products1/evolution/e3000/mpeix/index.html

Perl for HP e3000 MPE http://www.bixby.org/mark/perlix.html

According to the account manager:

"the problem is the 'df,' uptime, etc. aren't recognized by MPE"

so I guess that limits what the compiled client would be able to do anyway...

Now, if I can just get them to let me have access to their precious development system... :)

I think I'm just going to have to stick to the SNMP query - at least I get uptime from it. I *think* I also get NIC throughput and some kind of disk stats, but I'm not sure how much use the raw numbers are.

Thanks anyway, everybody.
