The past couple of days my sun e-450 runnung sol 2.7 suddenly seems to crawling. The performance meter shows unusually hig cpu and disk usage and today high interuppts as well. Never seen this before. ps -ef doesnt tell me much but i dint know in.telnetd had over a hundred instances..(enlighten please). I do not have a process monitor i guess that comes with sol 8.. df -k is fine... swap space looks healthy.. any leads as to how i identify this?

thats okay.. but the speed is the problem...
on /usr/ucb/ps aux... i see some print jobs eating like 31% i have never faced this before so not exactly sure if that is normal.. cause three concurrent print jobs would explain it.. but... this is not new .. why should it crop up all of a sudden

Do you have iostat and vmstat? (not sure if Solaris has this)
If so, it will give you an idea what the disk I/O and swap conditions are, plus an idea if you are CPU bound or disk bound.
Does a ps -ef reveal any processes with an absurd CPU time? Maybe you have a zombie process hogging CPU time. IBM Certified Confused - MQSeries

well the telnet session into the system are through an emulator that runs an application called Kerridge.. anyways.. all seems fine till a user tries to print onto his local machine where his pid gets cpu usage of 35-40%
lpshed and requests are clean..
is it getting anywhere?

To see what processes are using resource use the following
/usr/ucb/ps -waxu or /usr/ucb/ps -waxu get more detail on the process. Also ps -e -o pid,ppid,sid,user,fname,pcpu,pmem
I have had problems similar to this in the past caused by overlarge prints or print directories that were filling up and using all the available inodes.
