Hey everyone,
I'm coming from Linux where the top command gave me lots of process

similar info in Solaris.
So far I've looked at prstat and ps but neither give cpu time in
milliseconds, both seem to have 1 second... (2 Replies)

NAME
monitor() - prepare execution profile
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
An executable program created by automatically includes calls for with default parameters; need not be called explicitly except to gain
fine control over profiling.
is an interface to profil(2). lowpc and highpc are the addresses of two functions; buffer is the address of a (user-supplied) array of
bufsize WORDs (defined in the header file). The address should have proper alignment to be cast to type and in
arranges to record in the buffer a histogram of periodically sampled values of the program counter, and of counts of calls of certain func-
tions. The lowest address sampled is that of lowpc and the highest is just below highpc. lowpc must not equal 0 for this use of monitor.
Not more than nfunc call counts can be kept; only calls of functions compiled with the profiling option of are recorded. (The C Library
and Math Library supplied when is used also have call counts recorded.)
For results to be significant, especially where there are small, heavily used routines, it is suggested that the buffer be no more than a
few times smaller than the range of locations sampled.
To profile the entire program, it is sufficient to use
...
etext lies just above all the program text (see end(3C)).
To stop execution monitoring and write the results on file use
prof(1) can then be used to examine the results.
