process in sleep mode

Prasanth V Aravind — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:34:49 GMT

We have one hp 11.11 server. we had started one process of billing which has been running from last one day. These billing processes are running very slow. I have check in the system, but I can’t able to see any bottleneck of cpu, memory, disk i/o , swap. But the process state in top command output is showing sleep stage even though my cpu is 98% idle.

How to find resolve this issue ?

Any idea ?

You will have to verify the process is still generating the desired output.

You can change the nice value of the process and increase the priority of the job.

I'm not sure how that will help too much if 98% idle?

Using tusc on the process may tell you why it is waiting.
