Command reference
prmanalyze
Appendix A204
If you would like to obtain information for billing based on PRM groups,
use /usr/sbin/acct/acctcom -P.
Table A-2 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
NOTE For memory, the average, peak, and percent KB values should be
comparable to those presented by acctcom. However, the memory totals
(in KB minutes) for prmanalyze may differ. This is because HP-UX
accounting charges memory usage only when a process is actually
running and presumes it takes up no memory whatsoever when the
process is not using CPU time. This leads to artificially low numbers for
PRM purposes. For the sake of resource management, prmanalyze
assumes that a process holds its resident memory pages reserved,
whether it uses them or not, for the entire wallclock existence of the
process. The prmanalyze reports are designed to help you prevent
paging in well-behaved PRM groups by isolating and eliminating sources
of conflict. This can lead to total values that are somewhat higher than
the values given by other tools. Therefore, be cautious when billing based
on prmanalyze memory totals.
