NOTE users can globally set sort order by using the SET SORT option.


DETAIL - displays additional stats such as node name, priority, accessorid, receive queue
length, and memory pages in use.

ENTRIES - displays the busiest processes either in all Cpus in a node, or the
busiest in each Cpu. Note ENTRIES can be abbreviated as E, and no space is
required, thus P\*,E3,R6 is valid. Note the default value for ENTRIES is controlled with
the SET ENTRIES option.

LAST - causes stats to be displayed based on the requestors rate. The LAST option is an
adaptive rate. For example, if a requestor makes a request every 3 seconds, but then
starts making requests every 5 seconds, the PB command with a LAST option
automatically adapts to the requestors request rate. LAST means RPM should use the
stats counters from the LAST request for the new display. Display occurs once, with
calculations based on elapsed time between PB commands. See also SAME and RATE.

NONULL - suppresses display of processes consuming less than %0.01 Cpu busy.

NORMAL - displays the default output: Time, Cpu, Pin, Busy, Name, Program. Note the
DETAIL option provides additional information.

RATE - causes stats display to repeat every . If RATE is zero, the
display is updated once, with rates and busy calculations based on 1 second sample
interval, unless LAST is specified. Note the default value of RATE is controlled by the SET
RATE option. Note RATE can be abbreviated and without spaces, thus P\*R5
is allowed.

SAME - displays the same stats as the prior PB command, but for different or
with different DETAIL.

SAME examples:

PB 1,LAST

could be followed by

PB,SAME,ALL

or by

PB 1,SAME,DETAIL

to display additional info about the same set of statistics.


SYNC - synchronizes reporting to begin at modulo seconds past the minute. For
example, PB RATE 6 would report at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, and 54 seconds past the
