Hi,

I know on Linux and Solaris you can use top (by default, top lists the
processes based on CPU usage) and let it sort the proc list by memory
usage. But hp-ux top does not do that. So what can you do on hp-ux to
find the process that uses the most memory?

Thanks a lot in advance.

You can send the output to a file and then sort it. You would have
problems with the M and K suffix though.

$ top -f top.out -n 10000 -d 1
$ sort -n -k7,7 top.out

Thanks, Dennis. That really helps.

export Unix95=1
ps -eo ruser,pcpu,sz,vsz,pid

You can now sort it by either Vsz or sz as you see fit.

Maybe someday HP ports the Linux version to HP-UX (where you can select the
sort field interactively)...

This works on all SysV-compatible systems:

ps -elf | sort -n -k 10,10

And for HP-UX you should bookmark

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

Search for Package name top,
download the top-3.6.1 package for your platform,
and its dependent packages,
gunzip and
swinstall -s /absolute/path/to/package.depot \*

and start
/usr/local/bin/top -o size

provided it installs in /usr/local/bin.

The last time I heard of some that wanted to run the non-HP-UX version
of top, it wanted to open /dev/kmem. It had to have root but it still
didn't work.

With ACLs, you could also give selective read permission to /dev/kmem, without
being "root". THe next OS-Core Update may destroy your permission settings,
however. As there was a working top program for SunOS decades agao, I see no
reason why there shouldn't be one for HP-UX...

I said I was root and it still didn't work.
