Title: RE: How do I find the CPU hog?

Ah, well that explains why I can't find WRKSYSACT.

If you have performance tools then WRKSYSACT might be a better bet.  There
are tasks which take up CPU but yet don't appear as jobs.  If you had a
newer version of OS I would strongly recommend the Management Central
portion of Operations Navigator, but I don't think it quite goes back to
the Jurassic Age.  But, what the heck, you can try it and see what happens.
Actually my boss monitors performance like a hawk, and actually is quite
quick to throw money at a problem to fix it.  I can't argue, it is
effective.

I've got a 9406-510 running at V3R7 with the "latest" cumes.  Over the
past few days, we've been seeing the CPU running consistently in the 75%
- 90+% range all day long.  A cursory look at the jobs in WRKACTJOB
showed a total of about 40% when the display header shows 74%.  Our job
queue is beginning to get backed up a bit.  Disk uitilization is
currently at 81%, BUT we've had this condition for at least a few weeks
now.  This system hasn't seen disk utilization under 70% in a long LONG
time.

Where do I start looking?
