Showing process threads with /usr/bin/ps command

Johan Brusche — Thu, 08 May 2008 08:45:26 GMT

It would be nice if HP-UX had an argument to the /usr/bin/ps command to display process threads, like for instance Tru64's "ps -Am"

On Solaris also there is a ps argument to obtain that info.

Any alternatives that do NOT involve Glance ?

Hi Johan,

something like this?
# UNIX95= ps -xC java

That shows the java process, but not it's threads.

More something like this (from p4)

I think Glance is the only official alternative.

This will print out thread information every 10 seconds. You can just print it out once by removing the -j option. There are many other thread metrics you can print out instead of these.

# cat thread1
print " "
print "Date: ",GBL_STATDATE,"Time: ",
GBL_STATTIME
thread loop
print THREAD_THREAD_ID,THREAD_PROC_NAME,
THREAD_PROC_ID,THREAD_RUN_TIME,THREAD_STATE,
THREAD_CPU_TOTAL_TIME
