Your ongoing system administration tasks are likely to include monitoring and controlling system processes and system performance.
Using the standard administration tools provided in the Oracle Solaris operating system, you can display system information such as host name, memory, or processor type. You can also change information such as the date and time, or the host name for a system. You can display process information such as process status, process ID, and process priority. You can also use the standard administration tools to start, stop, reprioritize, or schedule system processes. In addition, you can monitor system performance information such as swapping statistics, disk input and output, buffer activity, and disk space information. Using the standard administration tools, you can also schedule individual jobs or repetitive jobs.
For information about performing these ongoing tasks, see Managing System Information, Processes, and Performance in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
