Data Problem with knlist in AIX 5.3 for Power5 processor

Hi all,

I have a AIX 5.3 Installation on the Power5 processor. I am using the knlist API for getting the details of the CPU details like user cpu, kernel cpu, idle cpu and wait cpu. My code is working fine on other Installations of AIX like PowerPC_POWER4 but it is giving wrong values on Power5 machine.

It would be helpful if anyone can let me know if the knlist API is giving problems on Power5 machine.

There are two kinds of options; options for CPU and options for CPU modules. There are only four options for CPU, they are as follows: -C configfile, --config configfile The configuration file to be used by CPU. The options in this file are used for CPU modules. -h, --help Display help for CPU. If specified in conjunction with the -m option the help for that particular module is displayed. -M method, --method=method This is the method of administration. Current options are ldap or passwd (passwd is not yet working). This can be specified in the configuration file. -V, --version Display the version of the software. SEE ALSO
