Full Discussion: Need a list of top 10 CPU using processes (also top 10 memory hogs, separately)
Operating Systems AIX Need a list of top 10 CPU using processes (also top 10 memory hogs, separately) Post 302350039 by zxmaus on Wednesday 2nd of September 2009 03:32:06 PM

Hi,

for AIX I am using:

Displaying top CPU_consuming processes

Code:
ps aux | head -1; ps aux | sort -rn +2 | head -10

Displaying top 10 memory-consuming processes

Code:
ps aux | head -1; ps aux | sort -rn +3 | head

Displaying the process in order of real memory use

Code:
ps vx | head -1; ps vx | grep -v PID | sort -rn +6 | head -10

Displaying process in order of nice value

Code:
ps -eakl | sort -n +7

Displaying the process in order of I/O

Code:
ps vx | head -1; ps vx | grep -v PID | sort -rn +4 | head -10

Kind regards
zxmaus

wmtop

WMTOP(1)							   User Manuals 							  WMTOP(1)

NAME

       wmtop

SYNOPSIS

       wmtop [-c command] [-U] [-x regexp] [-m]

DESCRIPTION

       wmtop displays, as a WindowMaker dockapp, the CPU usage of the top 3 processes satisfying user supplied criteria.

OPTIONS

       -U     displays processes owned only for the current user.

       -c command
	      Execute command when dockapp is double clicked.

       -x regexp
	      Exclude  processes whose name matches the given regular expression. The regular expression need only match part of the process name.
	      Use '^' to mean the start of the name and '$' to mean the end.

       -m     Show (physical) memory usage rather than CPU usage. (Linux only)

       -s     Set interval between process samples in milliseconds.

       -r     Set interval between screen updates in milliseconds.

EXAMPLES

       Monitor only users processesr, exclude WindowMaker dock apps and pop up xps when double clicked:

	      wmtop -c xps -U -x '^wm'

       where we assume dock apps all have names starting with 'wm'.
