Struggling with Solaris

To save a static route, add it to /etc/init.d/inetinit:
route add net 10.8.0.0 -netmask 255.255.0.0 -gateway 10.1.1.17

CPU Loads without the 'top' command

This mpstat command will display the cpu loads at 5 second intervals, 2 times:
# mpstat 5 2 CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl 0 63 4 58 19 5 128 2 6 2 0 179 1 2 2 94 1 54 5 70 2136 1122 135 2 5 2 0 185 1 5 2 91 CPU minf mjf xcal intr ithr csw icsw migr smtx srw syscl usr sys wt idl 0 0 0 2 13 5 102 0 2 0 0 104 0 1 0 99 1 1 0 1 2078 1073 134 0 1 0 0 16 0 0 0 100 #
To view the processes that are hogging up your cpu, use the prstat command:
# prstat -s cpu -n 5 PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP 79 root 3904K 2752K sleep 0 0 0:00.00 0.1% picld/7 1814 root 1704K 1472K cpu1 43 0 0:00.00 0.0% prstat/1 61 root 2296K 1520K sleep 50 0 0:00.00 0.0% syseventd/12 145 root 2304K 1192K sleep 58 0 0:00.00 0.0% rpcbind/1 172 root 1112K 680K sleep 0 0 0:00.00 0.0% keep_sshd_alive/1 Total: 104 processes, 224 lwps, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.01 #
