I am looking for a command that will return me the amount of CPU used by a specific process in AIX environment.
I know there is TOPAS - but it is interactive and I need to get this information from system that connects remotely via SSH.
Using writing to files and than reading them is also not good.
In Solaris for example I do :
Code:
prstat 1 1 | grep app| nawk '{print $1"|-|"$9}'
or in linux :
Code:
top -n 1 -b | grep app| awk '{print $1"|-|"$9}'
while it returns for each PID the CPU.
Can you think of a non-interactive command like that in AIX that can return this information like prstat or top in linux ?
P.S : I don't have either TOP or NMON installed since it is not coming out of the box in AIX so I can't count on that.
Thanks

Hello All,
I wanna find the CPU utilization of a specific process running on AIX OS. I have its pid, but not sure about the command.
iostat
sar 5 5
vmstat
All the above give me system CPU utilization. Is there a way to find for a specific pid???
Thanks,

hi,
i want to know cpu utilizatiion per process per cpu..for single processor also if multicore in linux ..to use these values in shell script to kill processes exceeding cpu utilization.ps (pcpu) command does not give exact values..top does not give persistant values..psstat,vmstat..does njot...

Hi,
may be this is an AIX noob question:
my current C++ application runs on Linux and is quite memory consuming. Therefore, the application writes a logfile after it has finished containing memory information, CPU information, information on the running other processes besides my application... (0 Replies)

Hi,
By using time command we can determine the execution time of a process or command.

There have been a lot of threads about how to find processes that are using a specific port on an AIX server. After long hours of research and reading countless "you can't do that" responses, I finally found the answer.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a script to catch a process which is consuming high CPU which I have pretty much done but it's just finding the correct place to pull the current CPU for that process.
When viewed in Topas it's consuming 99.*% cpu
But if I try using
ps avg or ps -eo pcpu

OS: AIX
so we frequently receive a lot of cpu related alerts. all types of checks have been created to keep an eye on the cpu but a lot of these checks make too much noise as the CPU is always being seen as high. the system and application owners say there's no issue with the cpu.
so now,... (6 Replies)

topsysproc
topsysproc(1m) USER COMMANDS topsysproc(1m)NAME
topsysproc - top syscalls by process name. Uses DTrace.
SYNOPSIS
topsysproc [-Cs] [interval [count]]
DESCRIPTION
This program continually prints a report of the number of system calls by process name, and refreshes the display every 1 second or as
specified at the command line. Similar data can be fetched with "prstat -m".
Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.
OPTIONS -C don't clear the screen
-s print per second values
EXAMPLES
Default output, 1 second updates,
# topsysproc
Print every 5 seconds,
# topsysproc 5
Print a scrolling output,
# topsysproc -C
FIELDS
load avg
load averages, see uptime(1)
syscalls
total syscalls in this interval
syscalls/s
syscalls per second
PROCESS
process name
COUNT total syscalls in this interval
COUNT/s
syscalls per second
NOTES
There may be several PIDs with the same process name.
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
topsysproc will run until Ctrl-C is hit.
