NAME
       sampleproc - sample processes on the CPUs. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
       sampleproc [hertz]

DESCRIPTION
       This  program samples which process is on each CPU, at a particular configurable rate. This can be used as an estimate for which process is
       consuming the most CPU time.

       Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

	      # sampleproc

       Sample at 400 hertz,
	      # sampleproc 400
