I would run a script under cron to log a sample of system performance parameters into a file. Cron job would need to be set depending on how fast your system gets into "slow state." Programs to use are: vmstat, iostat, mpstat, and possibly others. You might need to install package sysstat. sysstat - sar, iostat and mpstat - system performance tools for Linux There is a sample of a script I successfully used in the past: http://www.linwin.com/sysadmin/bin/systat . Need to modify it for your particular use. I'm not sure at this point if RT kernel has other more suitable utilities to check it's performance. You can also change the script to run from a command line just before you start EMC. Script would run commands in the loop with a sleep of few seconds in between. Put the script in the background or open another terminal to monitor it's log file. Add gplot to get graphical output. Additionally you might want to check log files in /var/log directory. -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
