top utility

Hi,

I want to write a script that would execute 'top' in the background for 1 hour time and collect the reports in a file.

Can anyone please help me.

Thanks,
Rahul

Re: top utility

You can do this just by using top.

top -s time -d count -n number -f filename &

-s time = delay (2 seconds you can say)
-d count = count delays ( say 30 times)
-n number (processes per screen)
-f output file where data to be collected.

I hope this helps

Re: top utility

Well, you could do:

top -f /tmp/top.out

and run it however many times you like...

Re: top utility

I think instead of top, you may use "sar" (see the man page also for sa components)suitable to collect statistics data also in back ground. Furthemrore "-f" option it is not present in all HP-UX releases.
