Process Trace
- Thread starter rksharma
- Start date
There are many ways to trace a process on AIX.
The tools that can be used are tprof and svmon.
Using tprof you can trace all the processes running on your box for a specific period of time.
For Eg
#tprof -x sleep 30
This cmd specifies to run the trace for 30 secs
An ASCII report named __prof.all will be generated which contains the info u r looking for.
If you want to run the trace on a process started by a program then you can start the tprof on the program
#tprof /home/jonsie/test.prg
Here an ASCII file __test.all will be generated.
Also you can use the svmon...
To get a complete summary of all the processes
#svmon -P|pg
To get a segment report
#svmon -S
To narrow down ur search to a specific process
#svmon -P <pid>
Pls go through the help for svmon for additional info
Cheers
