Objectives

The following test objectives for Exam CX-310-200 are covered in this chapter

Explain how to view system processes and clear hung processes.

• Managing system processes is a common task for any system administrator. You should know how to use the commands that display information for all active processes on the system, and how to terminate an active or deadlocked process.

Explain how to schedule an automatic one-time execution of a command and the automatic recurring execution of a command.

• Many processes compete for execution time so scheduling jobs to run at off-peak hours can dramatically improve system performance. The system administrator needs to understand how to use the Solaris batch processor to schedule execution of commands.
