Hi, Thanks to Rickard Hansson & Joe Fletcher who correct me : the top package downloaded from sunfreeware are actually binaries which after being 'gunzip'ed, should be pkgadded : gunzip downloaded_packagefile pkgadd -d ./gunziped_packagefile I heard that in E10000/E15000 running Solaris 9 & above, we can do something like AIX 5.3's micro-partitioning (ie allocate a certain percentage of CPU/memory/disk to a particular process) & I guess Nathan, Barry & Peter's responses probably are close to what AIX micro- partitioning is about : "If you are running Solaris 9, then look into the solaris resource manager. Even with mesource manager, it will only restrict a process if there is contention. 100% utilisation is a good thing. If you put your script within a project, then put a restriction on that project, then you will be able to ensure that there is always capacity available for your other processes." "Nicing an application will control its competition with other TS (Time Share) applications. If you're running Solaris 9, you might want to look into FSS (Fair Share Scheduling). I really can't imagine that you want to cap a program at 90%, even if there is nothing else competing for time." Gold Sun <goldsun8@yahoo.com.sg> wrote: Hi, Thanks for the many replies. In summary : Solaris 8 and above provides prstat as standard. Otherwise download top from www.sunfreeware.com (but it appears that the top that's downloaded can't be run directly - may need to be compiled/linked) prstat -s cpu -n 5 means sort the processes by CPU utlization for the top 5 CPU consuming processes. Thanks Gold Sun wrote: Hi, If anyone can point me to a website that has a binary form of "top", will appreciate it. Otherwise if you can download it from your Solaris 8 server & email it to me, will appreciate it as I need this quickly to troubleshoot our SunFire V120 which has been hogged for the last 1-2 days. BTW, is there any command that we can use to find out which daemon/process is chewing the CPU without the use of top utility Thanks in advance Send instant messages to your online friends http://asia.messenger.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers --------------------------------- Meet your soulmate!
