UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I'm on a Unix 5.2 server and I want to be able to see my processes to verify they are active and which processor they are running on.

ps -l will show me the status of process (active/stopped/idle)

but to see which processor the process is assigned to I don't know how.

Manpages show -o and seems to infer that this would show me the processor, but I do not know how to correctly invoke it.

When I enter ps -elof I get an invalid message and it shows the correct usage of -o as "[-o specifier[=header],...]"

I have no idea what it wants. Any ideas?

This would hep you,

ps -ef -o user,pid,pcpu,s,stime,pmem,comm,psr,pset

Please read the man page of ps to know in detail about the arguments.

Thanks
