Chapter 3 CLI Commands
show processes
show processes
To display CPU or memory processes for a WAAS device, use the show processes EXEC command.
show processes [cpu | debug pid | memory | system [delay secs | count num]]
Syntax Description
Defaults No default behavior or values.
Command Modes EXEC
Device Modes application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines Use the EXEC commands shown in this section to track and analyze system CPU utilization. For real
time CPU utilization information, use the top EXEC command.
The show processes debug command displays extensive internal system call information and a detailed
account of each system call (along with arguments) made by each process and the signals it has received.
Use the show processes system command to display system load information in terms of updates. The
delay option specifies the delay between updates, in seconds. The count option specifies the number of
updates that are displayed. The show processes debug command displays these items:
• A list of all processes in wide format.
• Two tables listing the processes that utilize CPU resources. The first table displays the list of
processes in descending order of utilization of CPU resources based on a snapshot taken after the
processes system (ps) output is displayed. The second table displays the same processes based on a
snapshot taken 5 seconds after the first snapshot.
• Virtual memory used by the corresponding processes in a series of five snapshots, each separated by
1 second.
Note CPU utilization and system performance are severely affected when you use these commands. We
therefore recommend that you avoid using these commands, especially the show processes debug
command, unless it is absolutely necessary.
cpu (Optional) Displays CPU utilization.
debug pid (Optional) Prints the system call and signal traces for a specified process
identifier to display system progress.
memory (Optional) Displays memory allocation processes.
system (Optional) Displays system load information in terms of updates.
delay secs (Optional) Specifies the delay between updates, in seconds (1–60).
count num (Optional) Specifies the number of updates that are displayed (1–100).
