NFS Question

[plbiju]

Hi ,

Consider there is one highend server and 100 clients , Clients are accessing the server thru OS or thru applications. So normally the load for the server will be high when all the clients are connected , How to find out which client is using maximum resources of server?

We will not be able to evaluate this by user id since many client may access the server thru application using one ID..

Presumably you know how to identify which process(es) are using lots of system resources?

You might then be able to find out which tty they are running against from the ps output.

Then you could use finger or similar to find out what IP address that tty was associated with.

Then you could find out which user is connected from that IP address.

This method won't work for NFS though as the NFS users won't have specific ttys. Maybe nfsstat would be a start?
