System calls per process? Can Glance do it?

System calls per process? Can Glance do it?

Is there any way of showing the amount of system calls a process is generating at any one point in time (via Glance?). Or indeed is there any way of showing a list of processes by ordered by the amount of system calls made?

A Glance solution would be good, but anything else also considered!

Hi
Process syscall option of Glance gives the system call statistics for each process.

What I really want to show is a list of processes ordered by the number of system calls they've made in the period? Dont think Glance can actually show this?

Barry,

Measureware can be configured but I wonder it will not give the output as desired by you.

The otherway to think of is to turning on the accounting on the system. You can write scripts to extract the system calls and format them in the way you want.
