Hi Gurus, in sun solaris we have /usr/ucb/ps auxw which does tells us the top cpu,mem and the applications running it but is there any command which is similar in HP unix. the /usr/bin/ps auxw does not give any information or i might be wrong in this. if anybody has any information please do let me know I have been trapping this information on sun and linking this to the database sid when there is high cpu, I am planning to do the same on HP. thanks in advance Arun __________________________________________________________ Free antispam, antivirus and 1GB to save all your messages Only in Yahoo!
