The cpustat and cputrack Commands

System administrators can use the new cpustat and cputrack commands to monitor the performance of a system or a process.

The cpustat command gathers system-wide CPU information. This command must be run by the superuser. The cputrack command is similar to the truss command for displaying information about an application or a process. This command can be run by regular users.

Developers can create their own versions of these monitoring tools by using the same library APIs that were used to build the cpustat command.

See cpustat(1M) and cputrack(1) for more information.
