pridist.d(1m)                                   USER COMMANDS                                  pridist.d(1m)



NAME
       pridist.d - process priority distribution. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
       pridist.d

DESCRIPTION
       This  is  a  simple  DTrace script that samples at 1000 Hz which process is on the CPUs, and what the
       priority is. A distribution plot is printed.

       With priorities, the higher the priority the better chance the  process  (actually,  thread)  has  of
       being scheduled.

       This idea came from the script /usr/demo/dtrace/profpri.d, which produces similar output for one par-ticular particular
       ticular PID.

       Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

EXAMPLES
       This samples until Ctrl-C is hit.
              # pridist.d


FIELDS
       CMD    process name

       PID    process ID

       value  process priority

       count  number of samples of at least this priority


BASED ON
       /usr/demo/dtrace/profpri.d


DOCUMENTATION
       DTrace Guide "profile Provider" chapter (docs.sun.com)

       See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs  may
       include full worked examples with verbose descriptions explaining the output.

EXIT
       pridist.d will sample until Ctrl-C is hit.
