monitor processes in AIX

[holdahl]

Does anyone know if there are any tools in AIX to monitor running processes on the system?

I have some processes which I would be interested in monitoring to see how much system resources they are using.

There are plenty of them!

Try topas, ps aux, svmon -P pid
