Oracle Solaris 11 offers several methods to monitor and control process execution, and there isn't one best tool to do this because every technique has some advantages.
This recipe requires a virtual machine (VirtualBox or VMware) running Oracle Solaris 11 installed with a 2 GB RAM at least. It's recommended that the system has more than one processor or core.
A common way to monitor processes on Oracle Solaris 11 is using the old and good ps command:
root@solaris11-1:~# ps -efcl -o s,uid,pid,zone,class,pri,vsz,rss,time,comm | more
According to the output shown in the previous screenshot, we have:
S (status)
UID (user ID)
PID (process ID)
ZsONE (zone)
CLS (scheduling class)
PRI (priority)
VSZ (virtual memory size)
RSS (resident set size)
TIME (the time that the process runs on the CPU)
COMMAND (the command used to start the process)
