Scripts Listing Processes and Memory Usage of PeopleSoft Application Server and Process Scheduler

Sometimes I want to list all processes belonging to a PeopleSoft app/process domain. Although PSADMIN does provide some options for this purpose, none can satisfy me fully. For example:

./psadmin -c sstatus -d DOMAIN

- No JSH and WSH, also no PID (process id, which is important to me)

./psadmin -c pslist -d DOMAIN

- Shows PID, but no BBL, JSH and WSH

./psadmin -p status -d DBNAME

- No PID

Besides, I am also interested in the memory usage each process, but PSADMIN doesn't provide this kind of information too.

Therefore, I wrote 2 scripts in order to self-help. One is a shell script (view) runnable at Solaris. The other one is a VB script (view) runnable at Windows. A bat file (view) is provided as a wrapper to make the VB script run on and output to DOS commandline, it must reside at the same directory as the VB script.

Both scripts have similar syntax:

pl [-f] {-c-p-c -p} [-m [-h]] instance
Options: -f force execution even appserv domain doesn't exsit
      -c print processes of application server
      -p print processes of process scheduler
      -m print memory usage
      -h print memory usage in human readable format (only applicable to solaris version)

Sample output for running shell script:

$ ~/bin/pl -cmh DOMAIN
