Systems Administration & BMC

[Prem Kannan]

I was wondering if any of you have written a script that tracks process and their usage over 24x7. In particular we are running into problems on our HP server and we would like to know what process was active at any particular time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

BMC Patrol is capable providing such reports.

Using a 'quick & dirty' shell script can also capture similar information by using the `top` command in a cron (executing often)

#!/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/top -f /foo/top.out

Good Luck!
