DescriptionOption
Shuts down the currently running agent (if any).-stop
Specifies how often to sample CPU information. The seconds value must be
an integer between one and MAXINT. The default for this interval is 60
seconds.Memory information is sampled every memory manager interval, as
set by prmconfig. The default for this interval is 30 seconds.

prmanalyze
Syntax:
prmanalyze -V
prmanalyze [-s {auto | uid | gid | command | prmid}] [-f config_file]
[-r {disk | mem | cpu}] [-t {summary | conflict | hourly | daily |
weekly | monthly}] [-p] [-1] [-E]
[-d resource_density][-m minimum_duration] [-x exclude_key_value]
[filename_list]
Availability: Any user can run the prmanalyze command assuming the user has read permissions
on the files in filename_list.
You can only use prmanalyze if you have collected UNIX accounting data in a file (default
/var/adm/pacct) using accton filename.
The prmanalyze utility scans the accounting files for information on the desired resource type
(disk, memory, or CPU) and orders the accounting records by the requested sort key (user, UNIX
group, command name, or PRMID).
NOTE: The accounting files that prmanalyze uses only contain information on terminated
processes. For information on active processes, use prmanalyze with the -p option.
Use this utility when creating an initial PRM configuration (as shown in “Using prmanalyze to
quickly identify resource use” on (page 42) ) and when fine-tuning existing PRM configurations
(shown in “Using prmanalyze to analyze your configuration” on (page 83) ).
The prmanalyze report indicates the total number of accounting records processed at the beginning
of the report. There is one record for every process that has terminated since accton began routing
data to the specified accounting files.
If a process does not use a measurable amount of a given resource, it is filtered out of the data.
Consequently, different resource reports can have slightly different record totals.
If you would like to obtain information for billing based on PRM groups, use
/usr/sbin/acct/acctcom -P.
Table 18 shows the prmanalyze options and parameters.
Running prmanalyze without options or parameters is equivalent to entering the following
command line:
prmanalyze -s command -r cpu -t summary /var/adm/pacct
