Unix software can be made portable using the methods of union, intersection
and isolation. The best method is intersection: use only features that
are available in all target environments. When intersection is not feasible,
portability can be
improved by physically isolating the non-portable code or abstracting it
behind an interface. Using these methods, 24 programs consisting of 1449 lines
of code where ported to five different Unices with no changes to
the source code.Unix monitoring systems include host-based systems that monitor a single host, network-based systems, and remote monitoring services provided by a vendor. A typical architecture includes an administration interface, a monitoring engine, a host-to-host messaging system, a logging module and a notification module. An example is presented of a lightweight, host-based monitoring system for Unix. The simplicity of the system makes it highly portable and easy to modify and extend.
