RE: {bb} Anyone got a valid 'top' equivalent for AIX?

["Kauffman, Tom" <KauffmanT@nibco.com>]

Not to flog a dead horse, but I've been there. Top isn't listed
seperately. It isn't part of binutils or coreutils. Could you please run
rpm -q -f /opt/freeware/bin/top on your system to see what package it is
part of?

I'm still looking because the version from unixtop.org doesn't report
kernel processes (lrud, gil, and 'friends').

TIA

Tom

I see that you probably no longer need this link, but here 
it is for future reference:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html 

It's the AIX Toolkit for Linux.  Very cool.  Lots of utilities.

My apologies, Paul; this just isn't my day. I've rattled all over the
site and can't find top. Is it buried in one of the other packages, or
am I just not seeing it?

Ask and you will be pointed in the right direction...

I'm drawing a blank -- no sign of it on the AIX Toolbox CD and I can't
find it on the IBM website (this latter is not uncommon, the way they
hide things).

How about top?  I have it on my AIX 5.1 machines.  I grabbed 
it from the IBM/Linux toolkit.

We had a situation this weekend where one of our most important
systems
went massively busy for about 3 hours. So busy that a root crontab
script that runs every 15 minutes took 14 minutes to start -- and it's
a
1-line shell script that echos a row of '===' and the date/time to
/dev/console.

Nothing left any tracks. The BB updates were sparse and sporadic, with
lots of purples. 

Now I'm looking to add the 'top' display to the cpu report -- but I
can't find ANYTHING for the AIX environment that doesn't need two or
three cycles to build a curses-mode display. Monitor and nmon at least
know how to run for a specific count and quit; IBM supplies topas as
an
equivalent, and it needs to be directed to stop. 

Nmon in 'file' mode generates too much exteraneous material and I
don't
really feel like parsing the csv format.

So -- is anyone out there using anything on AIX to simulate 'top -n1'?

TIA
