Finally, I find it hard to believe there's cluster software that doesn't come monitoring software, and you would have to result to tricks like you want to do.

The fun part is that this: 

*/1 * * * * cp /proc/cpuinfo /root/montool/tiara_cpuinfo.dat > /dev/pt
+s/6

[download]
wouldn't monitor a single thing. It will copy the /proc/cpuinfo to this .dat file, and writing STDOUT to the terminal. IIRC, cp isn't supposed to provide any output. STDERR would be a valid thing to write somewhere, but in this case, cron would be kind enough to send an e-mail if the copy didn't work ;)

I find it harder to believe that monitoring software actually needs a copy of /proc/cpuinfo. Why isn't it accessing this straight away?

But yes, highly off-topic here.
