How to Determine CPU Usage Per User With AIX
IBM's AIX operating system is designed to run with multiple users connected to the system simultaneously. AIX includes a variety of administration utilities to manage and analyze system and user usage. The "topas" program displays realtime information on system processes. Display the list of active processes with user details by using the functions built into "topas." For example, if analysts and programmers are sharing a single AIX server, this tool shows you if one user in particular is using most of the CPU cycles or if it's time to expand to a second system.
