Cmd to find CPU utiliz of a process in AIX
Hello All,
I wanna find the CPU utilization of a specific process running on AIX OS. I have its pid, but not sure about the command.
iostat
sar 5 5
vmstat
All the above give me system CPU utilization. Is there a way to find for a specific pid???

Thanks,
Ankita

Hi,
WLM or work load manager might be the right tool you're looking for, did not really remember the few steps to set it up but just google for it, its worth a try ... Smilie
