[opensuse] Prstat equivalent
Hello: I tried searching at en.opensuse.org but "search is disabled, come back later". I'm looking for the equivalent of prstat, or something that will break down the threads that are part of a process to see why a process is pegging a cpu. Strace -p <pid> attatches my process, gives me a "read" and then just sits there. I don't think that will work if the process is in a race condition, which is what I'm trying to solve. Ideas please?

There is an option for strace to log the children activities, on the same or on a different file. But I don't know if it will work by giving the pid, or you need to start the parent from strace. Also, the command "top" can show the threads of a process: Task_Area_defaults 'b' - Bold hilite On (not 'reverse') * 'c' - Command line Off (name, not cmdline) * 'H' - Threads Off (show all threads) But I don't know what combination will output only a parent and its children. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Thanks but strace doesn't seem to do anything with a running process. -----Original Message----- From: Carlos E. R.
