While trying to know where is NMon job configured to run; I do find that it's NOT listed on Crontab (using crontab -l).

BUT - the job is currently running as expected, which is weird. See the following output for ps

server# ps -ef | grep nmon
root 67043538   1   0 00:01:32 -  0:00 /usr/bin/topas_nmon  -x -F /usr/local/log/server.nmon -tA -s 180 -c 480 -youtput_dir=/usr/local/log/server.nmon -ystart_time=00:01:31,Dec20,2014

So? where it's configured to be executed; there must be another place rather than crontab.

My server is running AIX 6.1 - Thanks! :)

Found that AIX handles it via smitty topas. Interesting.

  • smitty topas apparently calls (at least in AIX 7) /usr/lpp/perfagent/config_aixwle.sh, which then manages cron entries that call /usr/bin/topasout.
