FW: What's happening inside the oninit process ?

In the year of Our Lord Tue, 6 Feb 2001 12:04:27 +0200, "Dirk Moolman" <dirkm@reach.co.za> spake, saying: >Hallo everyone, I'm not sure how to word this question. > >Regarding the oninit processes running on our machine, is it possible to >see inside the process to see which users are causing the oninit to do so >much work ? >onstat -g ses will show how much memory a given process is grabbing.Sometimes >that can help to identify naughty processes. Thanks for the tip. There are so many onstat options, that one sometimes forget some of them. >One thing we do is to run "top" to identify the top processes on the server. >The oninit processes sit right on top - where they should be, but they don't >always do the same amount of work. If we have badly written code, it will >still be the oninit doing all the work, so how do I trace the problem from >the oninit back to the "bad program" / user ? >Just pick one at random. Or all of them. >All I see right now is a busy system and oninits doing alot of work. I >would love to be able to drill down further and say to everyone, "here is >the program slowing your system down". >Do you see any of your.4gi's in the top pile? That's one of my problems - I don't see the 4gi's at the top, this is why I want to drill down into the oninits to see what's happening inside them. onstat is probably the way to go, but I was wondering if there was another tool to do this, similar to xtree ? But then we're probably looking at dbamon, etc. >I would say that we are at a point where we cannot add more resources to the >server, so we are now trying to identify bad programs, etc. to increase >performance. >------=_NextPart_000_0022_01C09034.F46039E0 >Content-Type: text/html; > charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Please don't post MIME/HTML.
