Looking for running processes from context 0

[eduardw]

Hi All

I would like to know if it is possible to see from the main context 0 which processes are running on the VS.
We have 3 vsx clusters in place and very often one of the administrators forgets to stop a tcpdump in one of the VS. I now would like to build a script to check the running process of each VS. So I can report and stop the unattended tcpdumps or fw mon sessions.

Here is my testing on SPLAT.

I started a tcpdump on VS 13 and then logged into the MVS as expert ran ps auwx and see the tcpdump. So you should be able to find any tcpdump running, you'll have to use the interface to find out what VS it was run on. Giving the data you need to kill the offending process.

[fxb:13]# tcpdump -i eth1.296


[fxb:0]# ps auwx
root 21811 0.5 0.0 3428 1160 pts/1 S 12:13 0:00 tcpdump -i eth1.296
