Subject: What's happening inside the oninit process ?
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 ?
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 ?
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".
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.
Hope you can help.
Regards
Dirk
