ps: pstat failure

GTENCSS — Wed, 18 Sep 2002 19:46:11 GMT

My application folks are getting a ps:pstat failure when running the following command:
if ps -efx | grep 'native_threads/java coep/coepd/djbatchj/brcd/BrcdProcessor' | grep -v grep
then
....
else
....
fi
However, it is intermittent. Any ideas? I was unable to find anything in the knowledge base for this.

use glance to check the process table and swap to see if they are full (or near full).

I'm not sure if this will point you to the right direction. Take a look at the patch for example (pstat patch; PHKL_26008 for 11.0), it increases the number of characters of the process command line that are able to be stored in the kernel. My suspicion is the "-x" option that you're using.

Hi,
Check the permission of the file /var/adm/ps_data , should be
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root sys 18308 Sep 19 13:46 ps_data
