NOTES

  Suggestions for enhancements or bug reports can be directed to
  dutools@ts.sois.alaska.edu.

  This command utilizes	the cci	command	parser utilized	by non-UNIX operating
  systems instead of the traditional UNIX getopt() parsing. Options have been
  defined to "look like" UNIX style options, but can be	spelled	out or gen-
  erally abbreviated. For example '-o' is the same as '-output'.  Because of
  this multiple	options	must be	space separated	and the	hyphen is part of the
  option name.	Also because of	this order of options is irrelevant.

  At ARSC the sgiprods is run from the chk_showprods.ksh script	in the
  sysmon.<admin> crontab.

  Output at ARSC is collected on <admin> in:
    /var/local/output/sysmon/showprods.
