Top has two sections, the summary information at the top of the screen which gives load averages, process counts, etc. and a bottom section which lists the "top processes". The prstat command standard report is similar to the bottom section of top. So if that is what you need, then prstat is an adequate substitute. It doesn't report the information in top's summary section. On the other hand, prstat is actually a much more powerful tool than top, especially is you use some of the other options. For example, "prstat -a" gives you the "top process" report plus a summary report of usage by user. If you use "prstat -J" you get a top process report with a summary by project and "prstat -Z" gives a top process report with a summary by zone. You can use options like -v or -m to get more information on each process in the "top process" section. There are other options mentioned in the manual page.
Top works and works well on Solaris. You can get a copy form sunfreeware and probably other sources as well. It doesn't come from Oracle with Solaris 10 (but does come with Solaris 11). If you're a Linux shop you might want it because it is familiar. However, you may want to look at prstat as well because it can provide some useful information that top does not.

Ipfilter: does policy routing work on Solaris 10?

Hello,
- Does the ipf redirection (aka policy routing) feature work with the
ipfilter that comes with Solaris 10?
I would like to use the the ipf redirection statements "to
interface:router_ip" or "reply-to interface:router_ip" as decribed in
http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ipf.new.txt
(The syntax is mentionned in the BNF of the Solaris 10 ipf(4) man
page, but the explanations there are lacking.)
On a machine that has two interfaces, the purpose is to send output
reply packets of a TCP session to the same interface that the input
packets came from. The idea to use ipfilter to do this comes from the
blog entry:
Packets out of the wrong interface
http://blogs.sun.com/carlson/entry/packets_out_of_the_wrong
My first try was to use "reply-to" in a "keep state" rule:
pass in quick on e1000g305000 reply-to e1000g305000:10.13.5.1 proto tcp from any to any port = 443 keep state keep frags group i_sso-test1
Which I understand as "once a connection to port 443 starts on
interface e1000g305000 send all reply packets to the same interface to
the gateway 10.13.5.1"
But it does not work; in the ipf log it shows that the rule matched:
22:56:32.770690 e1000g305000 @i_sso-test1:1 p 10.194.17.11,5648 -> 10.13.5.181,443 PR tcp len 20 60 -S K-S K-F IN
22:56:32.770783 e1000g0 @i_sso-test1:1 p 10.13.5.181,443 -> 10.194.17.11,5648 PR tcp len 20 44 -AS K-S K-F OUT
But the reply packet is not seen on the router (10.13.5.1), nor does
it get to 10.194.17.11 through another route (no firewall on that
machine).
My second try was to use two stateless rules, and to do "source port
routing" for outgoing packets:
pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 443 group i_sso-test1
pass out quick on e1000g0 to e1000g305000:10.13.5.1 proto tcp from any port = 443 to any group o_sso-test1
pass out quick proto tcp from any port = 443 to any group o_sso-test1
Which I understand as "incoming packets to port 443 are allowed and
outgoing packets from port 443, if passing on interface e1000g0, are
redirected through interface e1000g305000 via the gateway 10.13.5.1,
if not, are just allowed".
It does not work either; in the ipf log it shows that both the in and
the first out rules matched:
23:09:00.591163 e1000g305000 @i_sso-test1:1 p 10.194.17.11,26080 -> 10.13.5.181,443 PR tcp len 20 60 -S IN
23:09:00.591363 e1000g0 @o_sso-test1:1 p 10.13.5.181,443 -> 10.194.17.11,26080 PR tcp len 20 44 -AS OUT
But again the reply packet seems to be lost in thin air.
I have tried various other rules to no avail.
- Should this work with ipfilter v4.1.9 (592) coming with Solaris 10
u7?
- Am I missing something in the configuration?
- Shouldn't the ipf log show the outgoing reply packet twice? (Once on
the "wrong" interface e1000g0 and once on the interface it is
redirected to e1000g305000.) Or indicate in another manner that the
redirection occurred (like it indicates K-S for "keep state")?

If it matters, this is occuring in a Solaris 10 zone, whith virtual
interfaces one of which uses 801.q tagging (vlan 305, subnet
10.13.5.0/24), and the "router" is a Cisco ACE load balancer with
interface 10.13.5.1 on the server side.
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter!

I was saying
If it matters, this is occurring in a Solaris 10 zone, whith virtual
interfaces one of which uses 801.q tagging (vlan 305, subnet
10.13.5.0/24),...Well, it turns out that 802.1q tagging does matter: packets redirected
by an ipf policy based routing rule to an interface with tagging are
not transmitted.
In order to better see what was happening the ipf rules were extended
like this (stateless case):
@1 pass in quick on e1000g0 proto tcp from any to any port = 443 group i_sso-test1
@2 pass in quick on e1000g305000 proto tcp from any to any port = 443 group i_sso-test1
@1 pass out quick on e1000g0 to e1000g305000:10.13.5.1 proto tcp from 10.13.5.181/32 port = 443 to any group o_sso-test1
@2 pass out quick on e1000g305000 to e1000g0:10.194.7.1 proto tcp from 10.194.7.81/32 port = 443 to any group o_sso-test1
@3 pass out quick on e1000g305000 proto tcp from any port = 443 to any group o_sso-test1
@4 pass out quick on e1000g0 proto tcp from any port = 443 to any group o_sso-test1Also, for the purpose of the demonstration, the zone configuration was
modified to direct all packets to the same interface with tagging,
thus having just one default route:
zonecfg -z sso-test1 info net
net:
        address: 10.13.5.181/24
        physical: e1000g305000

displayed by netstat due to the zone isolation mechanism, but it is
not actually used for routing at the zone level; the interface without
tagging, e1000g0, is only displayed on the global zone where ipfilter
operates)
When testing from 10.194.17.11 with "telnet 10.13.4.180 443", it
works. And one can see in the ipf logs that it is the third out rule
that matched (@o_sso-test1:3), i.e. there was no redirection on
another interface (proof that there is nothing wrong with the context
setup):
16:59:30.479660 e1000g305000 @i_sso-test1:2 p 10.194.17.11,2111 -> 10.13.5.181,443 PR tcp len 20 60 -S IN

also. This time one can see in the ipf logs that it is the second out
rule that matched (@o_sso-test1:2), i.e. there was redirection from
e1000g305000 to e1000g0.
16:59:41.247101 e1000g0 @i_sso-test1:1 p 10.194.17.11,3851 -> 10.194.7.81,443 PR tcp len 20 60 -S IN

SYN-ACK reply packet go out on e1000g0.
The reverse case, essentially the original setup shown in my first
post, where the default route is the interface without tagging
(e1000g0) and the reply packet matches the redirection rule from
e1000g0 to the interface with tagging e1000g305000, the packet is lost
(i.e. is not visible in the packet capture on either interface).
Further tests with stateful redirection ("reply-to") show the same
pattern (does not work when packets are redirected to an interface
with tagging).
It looks like it is a bug: may be ipfilter injects the redirected
packet at a processing stage where it should already have a 802.1q tag
but does not, or something similar; in the working case, ipfilter acts
on a not yet tagged packet which can be used "as is" at the same
processing stage on the non tagging interface, and thus is correctly
transmitted.
Conclusion: ipfilter policy based routing does work on Solaris 10u7,
but, at least in my setup, not when redirection occurs to a 802.1q
tagging interface.
- Could somebody confirm this?
- Is this a known bug? (I didn't find anything relevant on sunsolve or
on the ipfilter mailing list)

How does sleep command works?

Does anyone know how sleep command works?
If I send "sleep 2m" to terminal.. would cpu be idling during those 2 minutes (from that command itself)? Is there something that is implemented in kernel that tells how sleep command works? and how its implemented in code?

Looks like the real work is done in gnulib: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib … anosleep.c
It looks like a loop that just continuously counts the number of nanoseconds that have passed to see if you've reached the requested time.
Actually keeping track of nanoseconds is handled by timespec. Doesn't look like a lot of code is involved, but I can't follow it. I'd be interested to hear an explanation!

Question on top command output in solaris

In the top output, if you look at the CPU colum, you can see that one process (2415) is consuming 95.84 % of CPU, another process (28533) is consuming 91.81%. How can this happen ? If one process is consuming 95.84 , then less 5% of CPU is available to all other processes . Right?

Does find command work on Time Machine Volumes

Trying to help someone search for instances of a file that is within a Time Machine backup. When using the UNIX find command it seems to take a lot longer to run than one would expect with the amount of data on the Time Machine disk.
Does anyone know if find (in 10.5.8) can search Time Machine backups?

I've had a find running on my TM disk for about 4 hours now and it hasn't returned anything. Don't think it should take that long to search through ~350 Gig worth of files.
But it doesn't look like 350GB to find. Rather it looks like 350GB times the number of TimeMachine increments you have.
Or more correctly, if you have 1 million files on your disk (I actually have 1.2 million), and if you have 50 TimeMachine increments, then find thinks you have 50 million files to be searched.
And most likely each file access is going to be at least 1 disk access, so that would be 50 million disk accesses. Your typical hard disk is good for 50 to 100 disk accesses per second, so that could be over 100 hours on a good day. That seems a bit long, so my guess about 1 access per file is most likely too high, but I'm still sure that accessing 50 million files is going to take a long time (hours).

Does voice command work with a line-out (dock connector) plugged in?

Thinking of upgrading to 4th gen touch if I could use voice command in the car. I do not want to use the headphone/mic jack for sound quality reasons.

AFAIK, none of the pins on the iPhone dock connector support this, thus there is no way to do what you want. You're not the first to want to do this. All I can suggest is that you suggest such to Apple:

Top utility installation in Solaris 10

Hello I've a SB 150 with Solaris 10 loaded. I tried to install top utility using pkgadd command and it showed that the package was added successfully. Following is the package name that I installed:
top-3.5.1-sol25-sparc-local
After this I have rebooted the server also. But when I type top in the terminal it gives the following output:
bash-3.00# top
bash: top: command not foundMy question is any further steps required to configure this utility.
Thanking you all in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Britto Sidhan

any just for the sake of it, i've never seen a problem in Solaris that was solved by rebooting the server, futher more the name you posted indicates that you installed a version of top which was configured for Solaris 2.5.
Even though a Solaris 2.5 top should work under Solaris 10, it might be advisable to find a more recent top, if not else Solaris 10/SPARC is 64 bit and 2.5 was only 32 bits, and its also a much much much more advanced OS than 2.5 was.

These forums are NOT for doing your work for you. They are here to provide assistance for YOUR work.
I suggest you go get paper and pencil and write down all the steps you think you need to take to accomplish that. Write it down as if you were going to do that manually at the command prompt. Then put it all into a text file and save it with a file name of your script.
When you have that "script", you can run it and examine whether it succeeds or whether it has errors. Work at it for a while and fix whatever errors might happen.
When you are really, really stuck at it, you can paste your script into a reply of this thread and maybe someone will respond with suggestions for improvement.

Move to the end of the document or Command–Down Arrow does seem to work!

The document is not that sophisticated, it is long at 80 pages. The command works on the same computer but for other documents. I use this feature a lot as it is a log file. Any help would be appreciated.

I apologize but here command + up_arrow behaves exactly like command + down_arrow.
If we are clicking in the document's window it rings mut don't move the cursor.
If the cursor is in a text box, a picture or a shape, the item is moved.
If we click in the rulers we move to the top or to the bottom of the document.
In a Word processor document the cursor location doesn't change the shortcut's behavior.
I repeat that Home and End are moving to top or to bottom in all circumstances in both modes.
So, I uses the arrows shortcuts only to move objects in Page Layout mode.
Given the point of view, it's a drawback or its an interesting feature.

___Why does my command/shift space and shift key stop working?
For no apparent reasoon, some key combos like shift to keep aligned or command/shift space to zoom stop working - why is that?

As you might imagine, without knowing a ton of information about the actual construction of the walls and ceiling of your home.....how many walls and other obstructions would be in the signal path of each device.....and the distance between each device and the AirPort Express.....along with how many users would be online at one time or another and what activities they would be involved in......etc., it's really not possible to accurately predict what type of results you might achieve.
The bottom line with any wireless installation is that you really won't know how effectively it will actually perform until you try it.
My opinion would be that you will likely need to add an additonal AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless more effectively to the bottom floor. But again, the same things apply as above.
