nt_pinfo Command

The nt_pinfo command obtains and displays information about processes (threads).

Syntax

nt_pinfo {(options }

Parameter(s)

options

l

Displays the delta CPU usage information for any ports that have consumed CPU within the last 1 second. Useful for finding active CPU consumers.

m

Displays the virtual memory size in megabytes (MB). To automatically check for this condition, schedule the nt_pinfo command to run through the background scheduler. If available memory falls below 5 MB, a warning message displays.

t

Displays the sum for the Allock and CommtK columns.

u

Additionally displays the user-ID in the report.

v

Displays virtual memory (process virtual address space) and page file statistics. When used with the m option, the display is in MB.

z

Displays all configured port, including those that do not have an associated thread.

Description

The maximum values that display under the AllocK and CommtK columns are up to 9.9 GB of memory consumption.

PIB

Process Identification Block.

ThreadId

Process location. For example: Taking the last three digits into the debugger with a thread of 01c, shows where you are in a BASIC Program at that point in time.

T

Type of process attached.

  • T = telnet

  • S = serial

  • C = console

User

User CPU time since thread started.

Kernel

Kernel CPU time since thread started.

Allock

Allocated workspace applies to user workspace in the VME.

CommtK

Committed workspace.

Device

Attached device.
