6. Managing Processes IRIX The ps Command IRIX and HP-UX both support the AT&T form of the ps command. For example, to print the process status for all processes, type: # ps -elf Priorities and Nice Values Both IRIX and HP-UX use nice to change the priority of a process. They also both use renice, getpriority, and setpriority to adjust the priority of processes on the system. Differences occur when you move into the realtime environment. In HP-UX the rtprio command is used to set the priority of a process to realtime status. For example: # rtprio 100 a.out sets the realtime priority of the process a.out to 100. This value may be set from 0 (highest) to 127 (lowest). Since all realtime processes take precedence over non-realtime processes, use care when changing a process to realtime status. Signals Like HP-UX, IRIX has two kill commands: /bin/kill and the kill built-in shell command. The signals for each differ. For example: # kill -l HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP ABRT EMT FPE KILL BUS SEGV SYS PIPE ALRM TERM USR1 USR2 CHLD PWR WINCH URG POLL STOP TSTP CONT TTIN TTOU VTALRM PROF 32

6. Managing Processes
IRIX
The ps Command
IRIX and HP-UX both support the AT&T form of the
ps
command.
For example, to print the process
status for all processes, type:
# ps –elf
Priorities and Nice Values
Both IRIX and HP-UX use
nice
to change the priority of a process.
They also both use
renice
,
getpriority
,
and
setpriority
to adjust the priority of processes on the system.
Differences occur when you move into
the realtime environment.
In HP-UX the
rtprio
command is used to set the priority of a process to realtime
status.
For example:
# rtprio 100 a.out
sets the realtime priority of the process
a.out
to
100
.
This value may be set from
0
(highest) to
127
(lowest).
Since all realtime processes take precedence over non-realtime processes, use care when
changing a process to realtime status.
Signals
Like HP-UX, IRIX has two
kill
commands:
/bin/kill
and the
kill
built-in shell command. The signals for
each differ. For example:
# kill -l
HUP
INT
QUIT
ILL
TRAP
ABRT
EMT
FPE
