Question

UNIX Process CPU time

AIX, Unix, Linux, Grep, Awk

hello -

How can I report "current" CPU utilization for a given process on UNIX (AIX)? using ps -ef and grepping the process name and awking the C column (CPU Time) reports CPU util since boot - not current.

Thanks!

Have you tried pidstat -p (pid) ? I believe it comes with the sysstat package.

You can also use it in time intervals: pidstat -p (pid) 1
