top: what processes use the CPU?
Hello everybody. Just a short question: Why top doesn't any more show what processes use the CPU? I mean.. 0.0% idle and the sum of the processes CPU doesn't reach 1.0%.. as an example, while make buildkernel top shows: 104 processes: 2 running, 97 sleeping, 5 zombie CPU states: 88.3% user, 0.0% nice, 10.9% system, 0.8% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 521M Active, 239M Inact, 195M Wired, 5048K Cache, 112M Buf, 40M Free Swap: 2027M Total, 68M Used, 1959M Free, 3% Inuse PID USERNAMEPRI NICE SIZERES STATETIME WCPUCPU COMMAND 62670 www 200 221M 29928K kserel 168:48 0.00% 0.00% java 74645 mailman 80 9408K 3208K nanslp 22:59 0.00% 0.00% python 74644 mailman 80 11412K 4436K na.. 75160 root1200 9880K 8904K RUN 0:00 0.00% 0.00% cc1 63370 root 960 2668K 1808K RUN 0:00 0.00% 0.00% top 74398 root 80 3892K 3740K wait 0:00 0.00% 0.00% make # uname -srp FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p31 i386 Please reply also to my mailbox, as I'm not on the list.

Ok.. but as idle CPU shows 0.0%, there should be a way of getting the processes that finished already living but caused that 0.0% idle.. What if your users are running lot of short lived processes? How can you find them out?

How can you find them out? You can't with current FreeBSD tools. Efforts are underway to port DTrace from Solaris, which allows gathering information like this, among many other interesting things.
