ps -fu <user>
typically when I see a hung PID on my boxes, I can tell that it is hung usually because the run time is very high (somewhat subjective) and the CPU usage is usually very high as well.
We call those "runaway processes". At my work, we use BMC Patrol as a monitoring tool. If the process runs for longer than X minutes, it is flagged and I get a page or email depending on how I have it set to notify me. Also, on HPUX, I have the "top" command and "glance" that help me diagnose system usage.
You can ps -fu user, if you know the user who started the Process and capture the PID if the time and cpu useage is high.

I have a script which spawns multiple compilations.

I can see the individual compilations via
ps -ef | grep compiler
and also kill them via
kill -9 pid
But the scirpt continues:

Hi,
If I use this command netstat | grep "1268" it shows me all IP addresses connected via port 1268, which is half of what I want.
I would like to be able to then map these against a PID on the system, and also thereby get the userid.

Hi Friends,
How can we find the process ID of a running process using the process name. In AIX I used to use the command "ps -ef | grep <process name>", it used to give me the owner of that process, Process ID and the threads running and the name of the process in the end.

procsystime
procsystime(1m) USER COMMANDS procsystime(1m)
NAME
procsystime - analyse system call times. Uses DTrace.
SYNOPSIS
procsystime [-acehoT] [ -p PID | -n name | command ]
DESCRIPTION
procsystime prints details on system call times for processes, both the elapsed times and on-cpu times can be printed.
The elapsed times are interesting, to help identify syscalls that take some time to complete (during which the process may have slept). CPU
time helps us identify syscalls that are consuming CPU cycles to run.
Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.
OPTIONS
-a print all data
-c print syscall counts
-e print elapsed times, ns
-o print CPU times, ns
-T print totals
-p PID examine this PID
-n name
examine processes which have this name
EXAMPLES
Print elapsed times for PID 1871,
# procsystime -p 1871
Print elapsed times for processes called "tar",
# procsystime -n tar
Print CPU times for "tar" processes,
# procsystime -on tar
Print syscall counts for "tar" processes,
# procsystime -cn tar
Print elapsed and CPU times for "tar" processes,
# procsystime -eon tar
print all details for "bash" processes,
# procsystime -aTn bash
run and print details for "df -h",
# procsystime df -h
FIELDS
SYSCALL
System call name
TIME (ns)
Total time, nanoseconds
COUNT Number of occurrences
DOCUMENTATION
See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver-
bose descriptions explaining the output.
EXIT
procsystime will sample until Ctrl-C is hit.
