Process Statistics
previous next
Data collected by the ps utility can be analyzed to find processes that use a significant amount of the system's resources. 

Runaway processes, memory leaks, and suspiciously large processes will be highlighted and you can adjust the thresholds to meet your needs.

 

At 10:05:02 ps -elf data indicated that there were 68 processes present. This was the largest number of processes seen with ps -elf but it is not likely to be the absolute peak because the operating system does not store the true "high-water mark" for this statistic.

Graph of the number of processes present

No runaway processes, memory leaks, or suspiciously large processes were detected in the data contained in file /usr/local/ps/20020501. No table was generated because no unusual resource utilization was seen in the ps -elf data.
