Specifying a Processor With the CPU Option

Unless you specify a processor, PEEK normally reports on the processor in your

system that is running the TACL command interpreter or on a processor chosen by

$CMON. However, you can select a different processor by using the CPU option of the

RUN command. For example:

> PEEK / CPU 2 /

This command returns the TIME, POOL, and PAGING statistics for processor 2 on

your current system.

Directing PEEK Reports With the OUT Option

Use the OUT filename option of the RUN command to direct the output of a PEEK

report to any device, such as a line printer, or to a disk file, including an EDIT file. For

example:

> PEEK / OUT $DISK.MYFILES.PEEK1 /

This command directs the PEEK report to a file named PEEK1 on a subvolume named

MYFILES on the volume $DISK on the current system.

Determining When to Use the NOWAIT Option

The NOWAIT option is useful when you combine it with the OUT filename option to

produce a series of reports. For example:

> PEEK / OUT $DISK.MYFILES.PEEK1, NOWAIT / DYNAMIC, 96, 900

This command directs the PEEK report to the file PEEK1 and produces reports every

15 minutes over a 24-hour period. While the reports are being generated, you retain

access to the TACL command interpreter.

Combining RUN Options

You can combine RUN options on a single command line to perform multiple

operations more quickly. This example runs a PEEK report on processor 2, directs the

output to the EDIT file PEEK1, and returns immediately to the TACL prompt:

> PEEK / CPU 2, OUT $DISK.MYFILES.PEEK1, NOWAIT /

For detailed instructions on using the RUN command and its options, see the TACL

Reference Manual.

Examples

options is displayed by default. For example:
