[comp.unix.aix] Has anyone ported 'top' or 'sps' to AIX ?

@ariel.ucs.unimelb.edu.au (01/22/91)

The subject line says it all : these programs are very useful for finding
what processes are hogging your machine. However, since they try to read
counters in the kernel, they are highly system-dependent. If anyone has
ported eith of these (particularly 'top' !), I'd be grateful if they
could send me the source code.

Thanks in advance,

rab

Except WHICH version of AIX you care about.  This is important for all
comp.unix.aix requests.

We have a version of "sps" in-house for the PS/2 and 370 (AIX 1.1 and
1.2).  I have no idea about the legal issues of sending the relevant
source code or binaries.  If you want, I can look into it.  If I can
send it, you can be sure that it would be entirely unsupported.  I have
a much better chance of getting permission to send binaries than sources.
You can also try asking IBM service to get this added to a version of the
product somewhere.

Opinions are my own, not those of IBM or LCC.
