paging space

[ogniemi]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to check paging space page numbers used by a process? I need to store it automaticaly in a file for further processing by script run every 5 minutes.


topas shows it but I don't know how to redirect the output on 1 interval every 5 minutes to a file.


Topas Monitor for host: aix52interval: 1 Wed Nov 19 11:24:29 2003

DATA TEXT PAGE PGFAULTS

Well you don't need topas or svmon.
The same info could be obtained by running
ps -efo "%p %z %a"
The 1st column is the PID
The 2nd column is the virtual memory size used by the proc
The 3rd column is the command issued to run the process

So you can run this command piped with something else to catch the virtual memory used by the interesting proc

Is there a way to redirect topas to a file without the control characters imbedded ?
