I have MATLAB INSTALLED IN MY SUN MACHINE >>
WHENEVER I USE IT THE CPU USAGE SHOWS ABT 90%
Seeing the vmstat shows that system calls and context switch counters reach a very high value .
What are these counters ( Man pages do not give much info on that) ....
The only thing i can make out that... (1 Reply)
When I exeute vmstat (e.g. vmstat 30 2),
in some machines I get some wierd result as the first line.
like: -117% or 208% for CPU idle percentage.
But the second line is alright.
Could someone explain this please.
Thanks !

This is something nowbody around me can explain:
vmstat (-S 5) shows a huge number of PI but when I try to monitor it in parallel with iostat - there is no IO activity to be seen that would correspond to this.
I have 16G RAM and 32G swap file.
I'll really appreciate if somebody can explain it.... (9 Replies)
Hi everyone,
I need to see some VM manager performance/behavior information on some Linux boxes regarding pages scanned/activation of the paging algorithm in order to get an idea if a given server needs more memory and is actually paging. In Aix servers, by using the vmstat cmd you... (1 Reply)
I need some guidance on the differences in observations, not sure how significantly different are they.
Also, It would be nice to hear on the values and what the obvious tuning for performance missing.

I'm trying to parse vmstat output with this:
vmstat | nawk '/0/{printf "%s\ \n", $5}'
but output is different on two sparc Solaris 10 servers, one is missing line with 'free'.

I m checking idle time using vmstat, below are the results
var=$(ssh wmtmgr@$hostname vmstat | tail -1 | awk '{print $15}')
89
and now im subtracting 89 with 100 & im getting expected results

Now How can I get the result 11 in one line code? (4 Replies)

tail
TAIL(1) FSF TAIL(1)NAME
tail - output the last part of files
SYNOPSIS
tail [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Print the last 10 lines of each FILE to standard output. With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name. With
no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
--retry
keep trying to open a file even if it is inaccessible when tail starts or if it becomes inaccessible later -- useful only with -f
-c, --bytes=N
output the last N bytes
-f, --follow[={name|descriptor}]
output appended data as the file grows; -f, --follow, and --follow=descriptor are equivalent
-F same as --follow=name --retry
-n, --lines=N
output the last N lines, instead of the last 10
--max-unchanged-stats=N
with --follow=name, reopen a FILE which has not changed size after N (default 5) iterations to see if it has been unlinked or
renamed (this is the usual case of rotated log files)
--pid=PID
with -f, terminate after process ID, PID dies
-q, --quiet, --silent
never output headers giving file names
-s, --sleep-interval=S
with -f, sleep for approximately S seconds (default 1.0) between iterations.
-v, --verbose
always output headers giving file names
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a `+', print beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file, other-
wise, print the last N items in the file. N may have a multiplier suffix: b for 512, k for 1024, m for 1048576 (1 Meg).
With --follow (-f), tail defaults to following the file descriptor, which means that even if a tail'ed file is renamed, tail will continue
to track its end. This default behavior is not desirable when you really want to track the actual name of the file, not the file descrip-
tor (e.g., log rotation). Use --follow=name in that case. That causes tail to track the named file by reopening it periodically to see if
it has been removed and recreated by some other program.
