idle time vs uptime
Hi Folks,
The other day, I had posted message about sar/top misreporting idle
times. I came across the command procinfo which gives this info.
The idle time seems wrong. It is almost 4 times the uptime which
doesn't make sense to me.
sysutils: 1.3.8.5.1
sysstat 5.0.6
sarge
I would appreciate some pointers to understand why this is happening
and what I could do to fix it without rebooting.
Thank you,
with regards
Karan
