How to determine if a system is thrashing

   Env: AIX 3.2.5; RISC model R24
   Desc: How to determine if the system is thrashing.

The only  reliable way to determine when the system has detected that
it is thrashing is to run 'trace' capturing only the trace hook ID
207.

  \# trace -aj207;sleep 10;trcstop
  \# trcrpt /var/adm/ras/trcfile

        thrashing =  "The number of seconds the system has been free of
                      thrashing. A value of -1 indicates the system is
                      currently thrashing. This value is not incremented
                      beyond 100."
