HP-UX Containers (SRP) A.03.01 Administrator's Guide

9 Using the srp_ps command

When you run the standard ps command in the global view, it will report all the processes on the

system including all the processes in containers. To report process status for a specific container from

the global view, use the /sbin/srp_ps command. The srp_ps command invokes the ps command

with the provided ps_arguments and filters the ps output for the desired container:

srp_ps [container_name] [ps_arguments]

When you run the srp_ps command in the global view and specify a container_name, srp_ps

prints the process status for the specified container. If you do not supply a container_name, the

srp_ps command prints process status for the global view only, excluding processes from all the

containers. When you run srp_ps within a container, only the process status for the current

container is reported.

To report the process status for a container, login to the global view and enter:

# srp_ps myContainer -eaf

NOTE: Reports from the global view that include processes running in a system container will display

user, group, and command string information in an altered form. See 15.2.1 Displaying system

container user, group, and process names from the global view for more information.

To report process status for the global view, login to the global view and enter:

# srp_ps -ef
