Synopsis

       topsysproc [-Cs] [interval [count]]

Description

This program continually prints a report of the number of system calls by process name, and refreshes the display every 1 second or as specified at the command line. Similar data can be fetched with "prstat -m".

Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

Options

-C: don't clear the screen
-s: print per second values

Examples

       Default output, 1 second updates,
	      # topsysproc

       Print every 5 seconds,
	      # topsysproc 5

       Print a scrolling output,
	      # topsysproc -C

Fields
