AIX client - can someone confirm a "ps" command?
I'm modifying the client "ps" command to provide information about processes CPU- and memory-usage, so that sometime in the (not so distant) future Hobbit can track these and perhaps warn if a process becomes a cpu-hog.
I have gotten most of the OS'es that Hobbit supports, but I need someone with an AIX box to confirm that this "ps" command works, and provides information about the ressource usage for all processes on the box:
ps axww -o pid,ppid,user,stat,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rss,vsz,cmd
This was constructed from an AIX man-page I found on the 'net (and it is very much like the others). One thing that puzzled me is that AIX apparently does not support reporting the start-time of a process. It that really correct ? And if not, what is the keyword for this ?
And while I have the attention of you AIX people out there: If someone could grab the latest snapshot and build me a Hobbit client for AIX 5.3 I would really appreciate it - I need to install a client on such boxes, but I would have to get the development tools setup first.
Thanks, Henrik
Hello,
I've done such a script with the 'ps' command. From what I see, the rss and cmd flag is not interpreted. Here is what I'm using on my AIX 4.2 - 5.3 boxes :
psd160 /> ps -efd -o pid,ppid,user,stat,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,vsz,command
PID PPID USER ST PRI %CPU TIME %MEM VSZ COMMAND 1 0 root A 60 0,0 00:00:37 0,0 820 init 3076 1 root A 60 0,0 00:00:00 0,0 516 osilinkd 3508 1 root A 60 0,0 00:00:00 0,0 800 errdemon 4690 1 root A 60 0,2 00:03:44 0,0 660 syncd 5684 1 root A 60 0,1 00:01:05 0,0 228 x25pconfigd 6346 7778 root A 60 0,0 00:00:00 0,0 992 sendmail
I don't know if it's what you want... The 'ps' command you indicate doesn't work on any of my boxes. Sincerly,
Thomas Seglard

it does not work on aix. I think you get similar output with the command: ps -A -k -f -l -o pid,ppid,user,stat,pri,pcpu,time,etime,pmem,vsz,args i have sent the output direcly to you.
it is very much like the others). One thing that puzzled me is that AIX apparently does not support reporting the start-time of a process. It that really correct ? And if not, what is the keyword for this ? the "etime" keyword above indicates the elapsed time sice the process started. you can get the start time with different options, but you loose other information.
