MQSeries is similar to but different than SonicMQ. The latter is a JMS
product by Sonic Software. The former is an IBM product using a proprietary
standard.
We have both here; I wouldn't mind monitoring both of these natively.
Hm. We don't seem to have the 'amqsailq' program. What's the default path
to this? I didn't find it under /opt/mqm nor under /usr (on Solaris8).
$ pkginfo -l | grep -i mq
