Equivalent command in AIX to "top" command in Linux?

[James]

Hi all,

I wondered if there is an equivalent command in AIX to the "top"
command in Linux.

"top provides an ongoing look at processor activity in real time.
It displays a listing of the most CPU-intensive tasks on the
system, and can provide an interactive interface for manipulating
processes. It can sort the tasks by CPU usage, memory usage
and runtime."

Thanks,

James

topas from bos.perf.tools.

I think there is a "top" in the Linux Toolbox for AIX, but what you
really want is "nmon", written by Mr. Nigel Griffiths of IBM. A little
Googlemancy should get you a download link. Used by IBMers worldwide
for performance investigations. Does everything that top does and more.

Or (as the man said) use topas, which is already included on the AIX
installation media. bos.perf.tools if memory serves.

Cheers,

I totally agree with Patrick, but agree with Menno more! Nmon is a
great tool, especially the ability to create nice graphs to show
management :-)

However, please note that if you try to log a call with IBM based on
it's output they'll tell you it's not supported!
