Monitoring Processes With osview

Monitoring Processes With osview

The osview and gr_osview commands display kernel execution statistics dynamically. If you have a graphics workstation, you can use the gr_osview(1) tool, which provides a real-time graphical display of system memory and CPU usage. osview provides the same information in ASCII format. You can configure gr_osview to display several different types of information about your system's current status. In its default configuration, gr_osview provides information on the amount of CPU time spent on user process execution, system overhead tasks, interrupts, and idle time. For complete information on osview and gr_osview, see the osview(1) and gr_osview(1) reference pages.
