How to get process statistics using "accton"

[James Brand]

While testing an application I turned on process level accounting using accton. Does anyone know if it's possible to get process statistics like cpu and memory from the log file this creates?

I also ran sar -o at 60 second intervals which gives me server level stats. I'd like to get same for processes. We have BEST/1 which is a decent tool but are out of licenses.

The "sa" command is used to display the data logged after accounting is turned on.

Thanks. "sa" was what I needed.
