|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl -libxo
|
|
.Op Fl dhin
|
|
.Op Fl M Ar core
|
|
.Op Fl N Ar system
|
|
.Op Ar user ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility prints a summary of the current activity on the system,
|
|
including what each user is doing.
|
|
The first line displays the current time of day, how long the system has
|
|
been running, the number of users logged into the system, and the load
|
|
averages.
|
|
The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue averaged
|
|
over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fields output are the user's login name, the name of the terminal the
|
|
user is on, the host from which the user is logged in, the time the user
|
|
logged on, the time since the user last typed anything,
|
|
and the name and arguments of the current process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl -libxo
|
|
Generate output via
|
|
.Xr libxo 3
|
|
in a selection of different human and machine readable formats.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr xo_parse_args 3
|
|
for details on command line arguments.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
dumps out the entire process list on a per controlling
|
|
tty basis, instead of just the top level process.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Suppress the heading.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Output is sorted by idle time.
|
|
.It Fl M
|
|
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified
|
|
core instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /dev/kmem .
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the
|
|
default
|
|
.Pa /boot/kernel/kernel .
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Do not attempt to resolve network addresses (normally
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interprets addresses and attempts to display them as names).
|
|
When
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
is specified more than once, hostnames stored in utmp are attempted to
|
|
resolve to display them as network addresses.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If one or more
|
|
.Ar user
|
|
names are specified, the output is restricted to those users.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /var/run/utx.active" -compact

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.Bx 3.0 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The notion of the
|
|
.Dq current process
|
|
is muddy.
|
|
The current algorithm is
|
|
.Do
|
|
the highest numbered process on the terminal
|
|
that is not ignoring interrupts, or, if there is none, the highest numbered
|
|
process on the terminal
|
|
.Dc .
|
|
This fails, for example, in critical sections of programs like the shell
|
|
and editor, or when faulty programs running in the background fork and fail
|
|
to ignore interrupts.
|
|
(In cases where no process can be found,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
prints
|
|
.Ql \- . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The CPU time is only an estimate, in particular, if someone leaves a background
|
|
process running after logging out, the person currently on that terminal is
|
|
.Dq charged
|
|
with the time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Background processes are not shown, even though they account for
|
|
much of the load on the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sometimes processes, typically those in the background, are printed with
|
|
null or garbaged arguments.
|
|
In these cases, the name of the command is printed in parentheses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not know about the new conventions for detection of background
|
|
jobs.
|
|
It will sometimes find a background job instead of the right one.
