PStat Examples

In this example, you want to output process and thread status information to a logfile called mystatus_log.txt. Type the following at the command prompt:

pstat > mystatus_log.txt

PStat will output all running processes, threads, and their status to the mystatus_log.txt file. The logfile will look similar to the following:

Pstat version 0.3:  memory: 130528 kb  uptime:  0  4:28:15.709
