The "top" command will show you what process are using the most cpu and memory amongst other things but what have you tried so far?

Romeo

With the "vmstat" command you will show three kinds of CPU data:

-overall utilization (you can identify if the CPU's speed is the bottleneck)
   - load averages. (impression of overall system performance)
- per-process CPU consumption (you can identify specific process that are hogging resources)

%man vmstat

I have a single cpu, rhel es 3.0 u 5 system that shows excessive 'system
cpu" utilization.
I think, but, am not sure that the httpd process is causing this.  Can
anyone suggest a method to find out:
1) what process is causing the system utilization to go up
2) what system calls are being made overall and how many of each?

Any help or suggestions on this would be appreciated.  This is a
production system, so rebooting or shutting down processes is not
desirable.
