System Management
Process and Subsystem Management
at Runs commands at a later time.
atq Displays the queue of jobs waiting to be run.
atrm Remove jobs spooled by the at command.
batch Runs jobs when the system load level permits.
bg Runs jobs in the background.
bindintcpu Assigns a bus interrupt level to be delivered only to the indicated CPUs.
bindprocessor Binds or unbinds the kernel threads of a process to a processor.
chserver Changes a subserver definition in the subserver object class.
chservices Changes the contents of the /etc/services file.
chssys Changes a subsystem definition in the subsystem object class.
chsubserver Changes the contents of the /etc/inetd.conf file or similar system configuration file.
cpu_state Controls and lists which processors will be active when the system is next started.
cron Runs commands automatically.
cronadm Lists or removes crontab or at jobs.
crontab Submits, edits, lists, or removes cron jobs.
drm_admin Administers servers based on the Data Replication Manager (DRM), such as glbd, the replicated version of the global location broker (GLB).
fg Runs jobs in the foreground.
frcactrl Controls and configures FRCA
fuser Identifies processes using a file or file structure.
gated Provides gateway routing functions for the RIP, RIPng, EGP, BGP, BGP4+, HELLO, IS-IS, ICMP, ICMPv6, and SNMP protocols. Note: Use SRC commands to control the gated daemon from the command line. Use the rc.tcpip file to start the daemon with each system startup.
gencore Generates a core file for a running process.
glbd Manages the global location broker database.
ha_star Processes high availability event.
inetd Provides Internet service management for a network.
ipcs Reports interprocess communication facility status.
kill Sends a signal to running processes.
killall Cancels all processes except the calling process.
kmodctrl Loads or unloads the kernel extension /usr/lib/drivers/kmobip6.
llbd Manages the information in the local location broker database.
locktrace Controls kernel lock tracing.
mk_niscachemgr Uncomments the entry in the /etc/rc.nfs file for the nis_cachemgr daemon and invokes the daemon by using the startsrc command.
mk_nisd Uncomments the entry in the /etc/rc.nfs file for the rpc.nisd daemon and invokes the daemon by using the startsrc command.
mk_nispasswdd Uncomments the entry in the /etc/rc.nfs file for the rpc.nispasswdd daemon and invokes the daemon by using the startsrc command.
mkssys Adds a subsystem definition to the subsystem object class.
nfsd Services client requests for file system operations.
nfso Manages Network File System (NFS) tuning parameters.
nice Runs a command at a lower or higher priority .
nrglbd Manages the global location broker database.
pppattachd Attaches an asynchronous device stream to the PPP (Point to Point Protocol) subsystem. Can be invoked as a daemon or a normal process.
pppcontrold Controls startup and management of the PPP (Point to Point Protocol) subsystem.
pppdial Establish an asynchronous connection with a remote system for use by the PPP (Point to Point Protocol) subsystem.
pppstat Extracts and displays the RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) information of the PPP (Point to Point Protocol) subsystem. This command only applies to AIX 4.1.5.
proccred Prints the credentials (effective, real, saved user IDs and group IDs) of processes.
procfiles Reports information about all file descriptors opened by processes.
procflags Prints the /proc tracing flags, the pending and held signals, and other /proc status information for each thread in the specified processes.
procldd Lists the dynamic libraries loaded by processes, including shared objects explicitly attached using dlopen().
procmap Prints the address space map of processes.
procrun Starts a process that has stopped on the PR_REQUESTED event.
procsig Lists the signal actions defined by processes.
procstack Prints the hexadecimal addresses and symbolic names for each of the stack frames of the current thread in processes.
procstop Stops processes on the PR_REQUESTED event.
proctree Prints the process tree containing the specified process IDs or users.
procwait Waits for all of the specified processes to terminate.
procwdx Prints the current working directory of processes.
ps Shows current status of processes. This document describes the standard AIX ps command as well as the System V version of the ps command
refresh Requests a refresh of a subsystem or group of subsystems.
renice Alters the nice value of running processes.
rmssys Removes a subsystem definition from the subsystem object class.
rpc.pcnfsd Handles service requests from PC-NFS (Personal Computers Network File System) clients.
scls Produces a list of module and driver names.
slibclean Removes any currently unused modules in kernel and library memory.
srcmstr Starts the System Resource Controller.
startsrc Starts a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.
stopsrc Stops a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.
stty-cxma Sets and reports the terminal options for a TTY configuration of the 128-port asynchronous subsystem.
telinit Initializes and controls processes.
time Prints the time of the execution of a command.
timed Invokes the time server daemon.
timedc Returns information about the timed daemon.
timex Reports, in seconds, the elapsed time, user time, and system execution time for a command.
trace Records selected system events.
tracesoff Turns off tracing of a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.
