HPUX monitoring and alerting script per CPU
Hi Guys,
Hopefully someone would be able to help me out. Basically I have an HPUX 11.11i system which is backed up by Data Protector 4.5. Every so often the vdba process hangs and chews up 100% of one of the systems CPU resources. As our monitoring tool can only monitor on a per system basis rather than per CPU we are not alerted when this process starts chewing up CPU time on one CPU, because even at 100% its only 25% of the entire systems CPU usage.
Im trying to get my head around how to pull a script together than can grep the %CPU column figure output, and send an email if it hits a certain threshold.
Has anyone done anything similar to this in the past?
Thanks in advance, Tom.

At that point, is it the top CPU consumer?

Does this show your culprit process?
Code:
UNIX95=1 /usr/bin/ps -e -o pcpu,args | /bin/sort -u -r | sed -e 's/\.[0-9][0-9]/&\%/g' |sed -n 2,6p | head -1
