2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
Create a utility called top which is actually an enhanced
version of the utility prstat.
3. Business Summary
3.1. Problem Area:
A familiar command for users unfamiliar with OpenSolaris to
gain an understanding of what is going on with processes inside
their machine.
3.5. Opportunity Window/Exposure:
Time to market is critical for this project. We are targetting
the next release of OpenSolaris, 2008.11. Therefore this
project is being kept small and doable in the time given.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
The top utility available on Linux systems is not provided on
Solaris systems. Since top is the Linux utility most requested
by users running OpenSolaris systems, we need to provide a top
utility in OpenSolaris 2008.11. In many cases, output from top
is very similar to output produced by the Solaris prstat
utility. We will not be able to provide all of the features of
the various Linux top utilities (features and options vary
between Linux systems) in time for 2008.11, so we plan to
provide top in two phases. This case describes phase 1. A
later case will provide phase 2.
Phase 1 will make top be a link to prstat. It will simply
invoke prstat as is. An accompanying man page for top will
indicate what we have done and note that we are working on a
"top like" implementation. (See top.1m in the materials
directory.)
The intent for Phase 2 will be to add features to prstat so
that when prstat is invoked with the name top it will look and
behave similar to the top that comes from:
http://www.unixtop.org/
4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
TBD...
4.5. Interfaces:
A link from /usr/bin/top to /usr/bin/prstat.
4.6. Doc Impact:
Create the man page top.1.
prstat.1 will have a SEE ALSO note.
5. Reference Documents:
materials/top.1: Phase 1 top(1) man page
