ps command

Marcelo De Florio_1 — Thu, 13 Dec 2001 13:35:52 GMT

I execute ps command,

UNIX95= ps -p PID -o "pcpu"

so, the output is
%CPU
0
without decimal positions

any ideas ?

Hi
Try like this

UNIX95= ps -e -o ruser,pid,pcpu | more
This will provide cpu utilization, with pid and owner

You need patch PHCO_18446, which has the following defect fix:

2. ps(1) displays incorrect %CPU format when UNIX95
environment variable is set.

I have this patch and the output looks fine on my system:

$ UNIX95= ps -p 6420 -o pcpu
%CPU
0.02

Marcelo,

You can search the patch database through the ITRC. Just click on the "search" link to the right and restrict your search to patches only.

For example, searching for "ps" in HPUX 11.0 patches brings back PHCO_18446 as the second document.

If I suspect a bug in any component of HPUX I always start there.

Cheers,
Steve
