Uses DTrace. .SH SYNOPSIS .B dispqlen.d .SH DESCRIPTION The dispatcher queue length is an indication of CPU saturation. It is not an indicatior of utilisation - the CPUs may or may not be utilised when the dispatcher queue reports a length of zero. This script measures this activity by sampling at 1000 Hertz per CPU. Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. .SH OS Solaris .SH STABILITY unstable - walks private kernel structs. .SH EXAMPLES .TP Print dispatcher queue length by CPU. # .B dispqlen.d .PP .SH DOCUMENTATION See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with verbose descriptions explaining the output. .SH EXIT dispqlen.d will sample until Ctrl-C is hit. .SH AUTHOR Brendan Gregg [Sydney, Australia] .SH SEE ALSO uptime(1), dtrace(1M)
