Monitor Process in unix

[Raj_33]

Hi,

I'm new to unix, someone please tell me how to track the process.
This should include the start time of the application , the file opened by the application and the end time(time when the application was closed).

regards
raj

You cant get all this info in the same place. The easiest way to get it is to use HP's glance monitor program - you can install from apps cd's or download from software.hp.com and get a free 30 day license.

Glance allows you to monitor a process in realtime and show you what resources its using, what files is has opened, etc, and when it stops.

To view historical data on all processes and when they ended you need full auditing which is not easy to do and uses vast amounts of disk space. Easier to use glance.

All you want is there.

raj,

Glance is best. The time command can give you elapsed time of a process - see "man time".

The tusc command will report system calls made by a process. It will optionally report the time of each event.
It is available for download from

hi raj,
if you are executing your own application from a scripts & looking to log it tou can write to a log file:

sdate=`date +'%y-%m-%d'`
stime=`date +'%T'`
echo "started job $sdate $stime " > logfile
echo "running job myapp with $file " >>logfile
fdate=`date +'%y-%m-%d'`
ftime=`date +'%T'`
echo "finished job $fdate $ftime " >> logfile
