I care because I'm trying to figure out what threads of certain processes are continuing to run at 99% of a cpu. I'd like to know what the system is considering "system space" in top's calculation of system space. I'm trying to solve a reoccurring pegging of the cpu's issue. If there is another set of commands that I should be using, please let me know Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Randall R Schulz [mailto:rschulz@sonic.net] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 2:51 PM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] Top/lsof On Friday 11 January 2008 10:33, Kain, Becki (B.) wrote:
I read the man page of top but it's not helpful for this question. When top tells me cpu0 is being used 50.0% by sys, cpu1 is being used 65.7% by system space, how do I break down what processes are making up that 65.7%, in system space, of the cpu? And in lsof, how do you tell which cpu a process id's threads are tied to?
Why do you care? I tends to shift rapidly, so programs like top that update once per second or so can't follow these changes, anyway. And I don't see how "lsof" is relevant at all.
