don't know it on solaris,

HPUX11i top and yamm are tools to monitor cpu / system via telnet.

Maybe YAMM is available for solaris .

Belitre,

Refer to the link - Topping top in Solaris 8 with prstat (http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/prstat.html)

{bb} Quick and dirty 'top' for Solaris and AIX (http://support.bb4.com/archive/200105/msg01122.html)

For users without the 'top' utility installed, on AIX and Solaris they can
also use something like:
--------------------------
#!/bin/sh
PS=/bin/ps
CUT=/usr/bin/cut
SORT=/usr/bin/sort
HEAD=/usr/bin/head

if [ -x $PS -a -x $CUT -a -x $SORT -a -x $HEAD ]
then
echo
echo " %CPU PID TIME VSZ USER COMMAND"
echo
$PS -aef -o pcpu= -o pid= -o time= -o vsz= -o user= -o args= |
$CUT -c -130 | $SORT -r | $HEAD -10
else
exit 1
fi
---------------------------
and then assign this script to the 'TOP' variable in bbsys.sh. After that,
the 'cpu' test will show additional info

Just try the below syntax in /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin

./prtdiag

I think this will solve your problem.

Thanks a lot for the information, NPrao. I've got now some questions.

1. Using of mpstat. When I execute mpstat without parameters I always get similar values for my 2 cpu's:

cpu usr sys wt idl
2 18 6 9 68
3 17 6 10 67

but when I execute, for instance, "mpstat 5 5" I get different values:

execution cpu usr sys wt idl
1 2 18 6 9 68
1 3 17 6 10 10
---------------------
3 2 38 24 22 16
3 3 47 19 20 14
---------------------
5 2 45 19 16 20
5 3 40 18 25 16

Do you think this is working properly in both cases?
Is wt percentage caused by mpstat command?

2.- 'diry' top for solaris.
How could I execute the script with a parameter? I would like to choose the number of processes I evaluate, instead of a fixed number.

3.- Is it posible to install 'prstat' in an older version of Solaris?

Thanks again, and regards.

Its been a while I worked on Solaris. Others can give their comments here or you should check more at the Unix forums to get a faster response.

I find these groups interesting and wide rangng - Unix Help (http://forums.devshed.com/f35/s), Unix Forum (http://www.unix.com/)

Hi Belitre,

Reg. mpstat command on unix. In both case it works perfectly. Here I am pasting manual of mpstat

mpstat reports per-processor statistics in tabular form.
Each row of the table represents the activity of one proces-
sor. The first table summarizes all activity since boot;
each subsequent table summarizes activity for the preceding
interval. All values are rates (events per second) unless
otherwise noted.

Hope above information satisfy you.

You can also check iostat :

NAME
iostat - report I/O statistics

SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/iostat [ -cCdDeEImMnpPrstxz ] [ -l n ] [ -T u | d
] [ disk ... ] [ interval [ count ] ]

DESCRIPTION
The iostat utility iteratively reports terminal, disk, and
tape I/O activity, as well as CPU utilization. The first
line of output is for all time since boot; each subsequent
line is for the prior interval only.

Reg. prtdiag command, you may check health of your server completly.
