Managers,
I am running the top command (?? version of freeware) on my 2100,
DU3.2G. This is all the info I have on top:
_______________________________
robin:oracle>file top: COFF format alpha dynamically linked,
demand paged setuid
executable or object module not stripped - version 3.11-8
robin:oracle> ls -alF | grep top
-rwsrwxrwx 1 root system 352256 Oct 13 10:20 top*
_______________________________
With my own user login, I can run top fine, and also as root. However
when I use the oracle account to run the command, I have problems. Only
the header portion of the output shows up:
robin:oracle>top
_______________________________
load averages: 0.03, 0.02, 0.01

Cpu states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 0.2% system, 99.3% idle

PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
<then there is nothing where the processes ought to be listed>
_________________________________
The body of the report doesn't show up at all. The load averages and
cpu states change every few seconds, so I know that the command is
running. Every once in a blue moon, the command runs fine, with
complete output. But never twice in a row. I am ready to pull my hair
out!
I don't think it is the top command itself. I ftp'd the top file to
another 2100 and it runs fine on that box with all logins. So this must
have something to do with the oracle login on this particular machine.
I have looked at the env variables, especially TERM and also the
ulimits, comparing all this stuff to the other oracle logins on my other
Alphas. Can't find anything that seems to fix the problem.
What is happening to the rest of top's output? Has anyone seen this
happen before?
Thanks in advance from my dba's as well as myself,
Susan Rodriguez
