Our MIPS M/120 has been spending too much time page-thrashing lately. I would like to have a utility that tells me about the paging behavior of all processes so I can decide which processes are the most culpable. All that the Sys-V ps(1) tells me is the size of a processes swappable image, not the size of the resident working-set. I was able to get a few clues by using crash(1) to look at the region table, but its not presented in a very convenient form, since I must do a `join' with the process table to find out information about processes. If no one has such a tool, I'll try hacking something together either by using awk(1) to massage crash output (gag!) or a C program that periodically examines the region and proc tables. Please respond via mail if possible, and thanks in advance for leads. -- Greg McGary -- Key Systems Engineering -- Work: (703) 742-7870 Home: (703) 352-0407 -- gm@kse.com, gm@cs.duke.edu, ..!uunet!keysec!gm -- --
