how can i split the kernel invoction by app in sol9

sleepy_11 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-17-2008

Hi all,
Recently, i am monitoring my Solaris 9 system and found that there are a lot of kernel invocation, "top" reports about 20% CPU usage on kernel, during the period. But i am not sure how i can find out which application costs the most kernel functions and the proportion.
Such mission should be easily accomplished with DTrace in 10, but could you please tell me how i can do it in a 9 system? or is there anyway that i can follow?

Thanks in adv.

You can use "prstat -v" or "prstat -m" to display kernel usage and several other per process statistics.
