Thank you! In general, am I correct in assuming that the resources of short-lived processes that are created and die within a single sampling interval of prstat -mL will not be reported? (i.e. the only processes/threads reported are the ones that are alive at the end of the interval?) -eM

I usually get a lot of those when I just start prstat -mL in the first screen, but I do get this after that as well. Does this mean that the particular the process 20925 no longer exist at the time of reporting but prstat stores its pid but not the name? > > PID USERNAME USR SYS TRP TFL DFL LCK SLP LAT VCX ICX SCL SIG PROCESS/LWPID > 20926 root 42 9.2 3.7 0.0 2.6 0.0 0.0 42 192 14K 31K 0 cron/1 > 20909 cemsbin 39 0.5 0.3 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.3 59 96 11K 1K 0 gzip/1 > [b]20925 cemsbin 2.2 36 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 61 0 9K 87K 0 /0 [/b] <<< > 16371 cemsbin 36 0.6 0.3 0.0 0.0 41 3.0 19 157 6K 110 2 java/22 > 20921 root 26 10 0.3 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.3 59 58 7K 40K 0 ps/1 > 16371 cemsbin 35 0.6 0.3 0.0 0.0 38 4.8 21 155 6K 228 2 java/18 > 16371 cemsbin 16 0.0 0.1 0.0 0.0 74 0.0 10 2K 2K 2K 0 java/6 > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > perf-discuss mailing list > perf-discuss@opensolaris.org > It's a process that's been zombified. You can use preap(1) to get rid of it if that's appropriate. Thanks, -Eric _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
