VMS Help MONITOR, MONITOR, PROCESSES  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The MONITOR PROCESSES command initiates monitoring of the
    PROCESSES class, which displays information about all processes
    in the system.

    In a multifile summary request, the classes CLUSTER and PROCESSES
    are ignored. If these classes are the only classes specified on
    the command line, MONITOR does not recognize them and displays a
    "no classes specified" error message.

    Format

      MONITOR PROCESSES

1 - Classname Qualifiers

 1.1 - /TOPBIO

    Specifies that a bar graph listing the top buffered I/O users
    be produced instead of the standard display and summary output.
    Values are expressed in units of buffered I/Os per second.

 1.2 - /TOPCPU

    Specifies that a bar graph listing the top CPU time users be
    produced instead of the standard display and summary output.
    Values are expressed in units of clock ticks (10 milliseconds)
    per second.

    Prior to OpenVMS Version 7.3, the MONITOR PROCESSES/TOPCPU
    display showed only a maximum of 8 processes on one screen. In
    OpenVMS Version 7.3, the choice of which one of three screens is
    displayed is determined by the number of CPUs on the system. (See
    the examples in this section.)

 1.3 - /TOPDIO

    Specifies that a bar graph listing the top direct I/O users be
    produced instead of the standard display and summary output.
    Values are expressed in units of direct I/Os per second.

 1.4 - /TOPFAULT

    Specifies that a bar graph listing the top page faulting
    processes be produced instead of the standard display and summary
    output. Values are expressed in units of page faults per second.

 1.5 - /TOPRBS

       /TOPRBS (VAX Only)

    On OpenVMS VAX systems, specifies that a bar graph listing the
    top balance slot faulting processes be produced instead of the
    standard display and summary output. Values are expressed in
    units of balance slot faults per second.
