How can I get a processor's CPU Percentage?
you know that.. in HP-UX..
in sys/pstat.h
struct pst_status {
long pst_idx; /* Index for further pstat() requests */
long pst_uid; /* Real UID */
long pst_pid; /* Process ID */
....
float pst_pctcpu; /* %cpu for this process during p_time
....
}
when, need to get a processor's cpu used %,
we use pst_status.pst_pctcpu..
but i want to know other way.. not use pst_status.pst_pctcpu.
How can I get that??
and what is p_time ??

I have a question. Is Linux (Redhat 7.2 specifically) set up to run better/faster on a Pentium cpu vs. an AMD? The reason I ask is, I have a PIII 733 w/512 pc133, and a 4mb video card at work, and an AMD 1.4 w/1gb ddr, and a Radeon 64mb DDR at home, and the PIII at work runs a lot faster. I have a...

Using HP-UX v11
Need to monitor cpu and memory usage, total for system and separately for each user in command-line mode.
Found out next ways to monitor total cpu usage under hp-ux:
1) vmstat, also shows free memory
2) sar -M
ps -eo user,pcpu - does not work, means 'user-defined format'... (4 Replies)

Hi all,
I need a script that will check the cpu usage of a certain process and then kill the process if the % cpu is greater than 25%.
I know i can get the pid of a process by doing pidof <processname>.
Once I have the pid number is there a command in bash to return the current % cpu? (2 Replies)

Hi,
How can I find total CPU usage in percentage? e.g. if my system has 8 CPUs and I want to list total usage for all of them, is it possible through a command?

bind_to_cpu
bind_to_cpu(3) Library Functions Manual bind_to_cpu(3)
NAME
bind_to_cpu - Bind execution to a specific CPU.
LIBRARY
Mach Library (libmach.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/resource.h>
int bind_to_cpu(
pid_t pid,
unsigned long cpu_mask ,
unsigned long flag );
PARAMETERS
Specifies the target pid. You must have access rights to the pid. Specifies the CPU on which the thread should run. The target CPU is the
bit index in the mask. If you set more than one bit, an error is generated. A cpu_mask of zero clears any previously set CPU binding.
Specifies options to CPU binding. Currently only the option BIND_NO_INHERIT is supported. When set, this option causes child processes
and threads to not inherit the CPU binding.
DESCRIPTION
Upon return from bind_to_cpu, all threads of the target pid are running on the target CPU. Bound threads are not eligible for execution on
any other CPU. You release CPU binding by invoking bind_to_cpu with a cpu_mask of zero.
EXAMPLES
/*
* Fork child process and force it to run on cpu number 3.
* Processes created by the forked child will not inherit bindings.
*/ #include <sys/resource.h> #include <sys/sysinfo.h> #include <sys/signal.h> #include <sys/types.h>
#define CPU_3 0x8 /* Bit 3 set */
main() {
pid_t pid;
if (pid = fork()) { /* parent */
if (bind_to_cpu(pid, CPU_3, BIND_NO_INHERIT)) {
kill(pid, SIGKILL);
exit(1); /* bind_to_cpu() will print error msg */
}
sleep(2); /* wait for child to print CPU */
}
else { /* child */
long cpu_num;
sleep(1); /* wait for parent to bind CPU */
getsysinfo(GSI_CURRENT_CPU, &cpu_num, 0L, 0L, 0L);
printf("child running on CPU %d
", cpu_num);
} }
In this example, the CPU_3 symbol is defined so that bit three in the bit mask is set. When the pid returned from the fork routine identi-
fies the parent routine, the bind_to_cpu routine is called. This routine binds the child process to CPU number three, as specified in the
CPU_3 symbol. When the pid returned from the fork routine identifies the child routine, the child routine sleeps to give the parent routine
time to set its CPU binding. Then it uses the getsysinfo call to determine its CPU and displays its CPU with the printf routine.
If the return value from the bind_to_cpu routine indicates an error, the parent process kills the child process and exits with an error
status.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, bind_to_cpu returns zero. Upon error, a -1 is returned.
