On non-clustered systems my emagents are behaving quite nicely. One is
monitoring 29 targets and consuming only .2% of the cpu. My problem is
that there's no documentation on the right way to set up the agents in a
clustered unix environment. In addition, there's very little documented
about emctl's options. I guess they don't expect anyone to do anything
with it but start, stop, and status.
