I agree, monitor is VERY valuable.  Near as I can tell (not an official
response here), monitor is NOT distributed as part of the standard
HP-UX product.  After scanning the entire 7.0 HP-UX, I didn't see one.

Around here, I've always had to compile copies using our source license.
I would assume SE's do the same thing.  I suspect `monitor` only works
"perfectly" when compiled on the machine its to be used for, and maybe
thats why a single /usr/contrib/bin/monitor copy isn't possible.
Some of the things monitor can provide seem awfully kernel/system
dependent.

Anyone else have better answers ?
