Displays the current status of your process.

Format

SHOW STATUS

Parameters

None.

Description

The SHOW STATUS command verifies that your current process is running. The SHOW STATUS information can also indicate if the process is using an abnormal amount of CPU time, is opening too many files, or is accruing too many page faults. The information displayed includes the following:

• Current time and date
• Elapsed CPU time used by the current process
• Buffered I/O count
• Current working set size
• Open file count
• Direct I/O count
• Current amount of physical memory occupied
• Number of page faults

The information displayed by SHOW STATUS is similar to that displayed by the Ctrl/T function. (See the SET CONTROL command.)

Example

$ SHOW STATUS
Status on 14-DEC-2001 12:56:48.68    Elapsed CPU :   0 00:00:55.02
Buff. I/O :    5117    Cur. ws. :    300        Open files :     1
Dir. I/O :      458    Phys. Mem. :  162        Page Faults : 8323
      

The SHOW STATUS command in this example displays the current status of your process.
