    Hi,
     
    Thanks for the many replies. In summary :
     
    Solaris 8 and above provides prstat as standard.

    Otherwise download top from www.sunfreeware.com
    (but it appears that the top that's downloaded can't
     be run directly - may need to be compiled/linked)
     
    prstat -s cpu -n 5
    means sort the processes by CPU utlization
    for the top 5 CPU consuming processes.
     
     
    Thanks

    Hi,

    If anyone can point me to a website that has a binary form of
    "top", will appreciate it. Otherwise if you can download it from
    your Solaris 8 server & email it to me, will appreciate it as I
    need this quickly to troubleshoot our SunFire V120 which has
    been hogged for the last 1-2 days.

    BTW, is there any command that we can use to find out
    which daemon/process is chewing the CPU without the use
    of top utility

    Thanks in advance
