Hi,

This has never happened to me on all releases of HPUX. Just do a top -f file and check the output in the file. It should have the process data alog with it.

Sunil,
Try doing
# ps -ef
Did you see processes running in this.
This is strange and you must see processes in top also.

Try rerunning and post the results back.

Regards,

Thanx ..this does catch the processes
but for that instant only.
How can i catch the process activity for a period of say 15 minutes.

Sunil

Hi,

just have look at manpage of top.
You can try
top -s60 -d15 -f file

This will display one page for every minute and and put in the file

A simple top will do that dynamically and for ever.

Hi,

Pls check the last top cumulative patch configuration in your system (PHCO_26020):
#swlist -l fileset -a state|grep PHCO_26020

This patch not have dependencies and don't need reboot.

A way to list sorted CPU proccess consumption:
#UNIX95= ps -e -o pcpu -o pid -o ruser -o args|sort -nr

Have you reviewed PHCO_26020 status in your system?
