[p4] P4 monitor show

[Jeff Jensen]

Another idea is to use P4Report tool and use a SQL approach.  May be easiest
yet...

Subject: [p4] P4 monitor show

Hi,

I'm trying to allow people to see current perforce activity, to that end
I've written an ajax web app which basically polls every couple of seconds
and shows the results.

However, as mentioned in the Google presentation:
http://versioncontrolblog.com/r/http://www.perforce.com/perforce/confere
nces/eu/2006/presentations/Google.pdf, p4 monitor show -l can hang when it's
very busy. This does appear to happen, using the API I fail to run "monitor
show" (sorry no further error msgs).

However, the presentation also mentions that this might be fixed, anyone
know if it is? We're using version 2006.1/113344 (2006/12/21).

It suggests running another daemon and linking the db.monitor file to the
live one. This seems to indicate that when it's busy it does not fail to
update this table, just fails to connect or run "monitor show".
That being the case is it possible to have direct database access without
going through p4? Not sure how different it is from Berkeley db now.

Cheers, jamie
