prtstat
Report system statistics and performance
SYNOPSIS
As prtstat is not a standard Linux command, there is no defined synopsis.
PARAMETERS
N/A
No standard parameters are defined for a non-existent command.
DESCRIPTION
The command prtstat is not a standard Linux command. It does not appear in common Linux distributions' core utilities or widely used packages. It is highly probable that this is a typo, possibly intended for prstat (a command used for reporting active process statistics on Solaris operating systems), or perhaps a custom script or alias specific to a particular environment. Users looking for similar functionalities on Linux typically use commands like ps for process status, top for real-time process monitoring, vmstat for virtual memory statistics, iostat for I/O statistics, netstat or ss for network connections, and lsof for listing open files. This entry explains the non-existence of prtstat in standard Linux environments.
CAVEATS
The command prtstat is not part of standard Linux command-line utilities. Attempting to execute it on a typical Linux system will result in a 'command not found' error unless a user-defined alias, script, or specialized third-party tool named prtstat has been installed.
COMMON LINUX EQUIVALENTS FOR SYSTEM STATISTICS
While prtstat is not a standard Linux command, users often seek information similar to what prstat provides on Solaris or general system statistics. Linux offers a robust set of tools for this purpose. ps reports a snapshot of current processes.
top provides a dynamic real-time view of a running system.
vmstat reports information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, traps, and CPU activity.
iostat reports CPU utilization and I/O statistics for devices, partitions, and network filesystems.
netstat (or its modern replacement ss) displays network connections, routing tables, and interface statistics.
lsof lists open files, showing which processes are using which files or network sockets.
HISTORY
Information regarding the development and usage of a standard prtstat command on Linux is unavailable, as it is not a recognized utility. Any existing usage would be specific to custom implementations or specific environments where such a command might have been created or ported.
