Unresponsive Commands in Solaris 10

I'm currently running Solaris 10 on Sun V890 server. However recently some commands are running and some are not. Pressing the "ENTER" key after each CLI entry, it just stays there like it's frozen. Hitting the "ENTER" doesn't advance the cursor to the next line. I had to reboot the server, and it worked fine. Still trying to determine the root cause. However the server is now again unresponsive to my commands. Has anyone ever seen this issue before?

For example:
HTML Code:
ps -ef
top
dtrace
df -h
