Without knowing what OS you are using it's not easy to help, to get a feel for what is happening on your server/system thare are many scritps available.
However starting with the standard Unix/Linux tools is probably your best bet in the short term.
Tools like nmon will probably not suit your needs, more likely commands like "ptree", "ps", "top"(topas on AIX) and many others will be more suitable for this task.
As an example on a system using lots of oracle instances this will show you the actual memory being used.

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 ,
we upgarded our AIX from 5.3 to 6.1 and upgraded our xlc compiler from ver 6.0 to 9.0 .
After this upgrade one of our pro*C program is utilizing around 20% of the CPU. Before upgarde its using only 0.2 %.
when i try to debug using the truss command i got the below error.

Hi ,
We need to get the CPU% and Memory utilization of process by process id.
Is there any way to do get them ?
I tried few commands like top -p <PID> ,
but am getting error "Quitting top: pset <PID> doesn't exist"
also i tried with ps -eo option but am getting error "ps: illegal option --... (1 Reply)

Hi,
I am trying to write a script which will fire alert mail to dba ( db2dba) when there process will
utilize CPU more than 90%. But I am unable to do so.
I am using following command to calucate CPU utilization be db2sysc process :

Hi Experts,
Our servers running Solaris 10 with SAP Application. The memory utilization always >90%, but the process on SAP is too less even nothing.
Why memory utilization on solaris always looks high?
I have statement about memory on solaris, is this true:
Memory in solaris is used for... (4 Replies)

taskset
TASKSET(1) User Commands TASKSET(1)NAME
taskset - retrieve or set a process's CPU affinity
SYNOPSIS
taskset [options] mask command [arg]...
taskset [options] -p [mask] pid
DESCRIPTION
taskset is used to set or retrieve the CPU affinity of a running process given its PID or to launch a new COMMAND with a given CPU affin-
ity. CPU affinity is a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given set of CPUs on the system. The Linux scheduler will honor the
given CPU affinity and the process will not run on any other CPUs. Note that the Linux scheduler also supports natural CPU affinity: the
scheduler attempts to keep processes on the same CPU as long as practical for performance reasons. Therefore, forcing a specific CPU
affinity is useful only in certain applications.
The CPU affinity is represented as a bitmask, with the lowest order bit corresponding to the first logical CPU and the highest order bit
corresponding to the last logical CPU. Not all CPUs may exist on a given system but a mask may specify more CPUs than are present. A
retrieved mask will reflect only the bits that correspond to CPUs physically on the system. If an invalid mask is given (i.e., one that
corresponds to no valid CPUs on the current system) an error is returned. The masks are typically given in hexadecimal. For example,
0x00000001
is processor #0
0x00000003
is processors #0 and #1
0xFFFFFFFF
is all processors (#0 through #31).
When taskset returns, it is guaranteed that the given program has been scheduled to a legal CPU.
OPTIONS -a, --all-tasks
Set or retrieve the CPU affinity of all the tasks (threads) for a given PID.
-p, --pid
Operate on an existing PID and do not launch a new task.
-c, --cpu-list
Specify a numerical list of processors instead of a bitmask. The numbers are separated by commas and may include ranges. For exam-
ple: 0,5,7,9-11.
-h, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
USAGE
The default behavior is to run a new command with a given affinity mask:
taskset mask command [arguments]
You can also retrieve the CPU affinity of an existing task:
taskset -p pid
Or set it:
taskset -p mask pid
PERMISSIONS
A user can change the CPU affinity of a process belonging to the same user. A user must possess CAP_SYS_NICE to change the CPU affinity of
a process belonging to another user. A user can retrieve the affinity mask of any process.
