zcat and more zcat
Posted by whdev, 11-15-2009, 11:29 AM While doing a top on my server, I'm noticing a lot of zcats going on on different files. From top result: 8818 root 18 0 25828 23m 592 D 0.0 0.6 0:58.71 1 0:58 0 0 sync_buff /usr/bin/find // -name .*history -size 0 28439 root 17 0 1648 404 292 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 1 0:00 1 0 sync_buff ./chkdirs /tmp /usr/share /usr/bin /usr/sbin /lib 2948 root 18 0 1892 292 216 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 0 0:00 0 0 sync_page zcat /usr/share/man/man1/gprof.1.gz 5632 root 19 0 1892 292 216 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 1 0:00 0 0 sync_page zcat /usr/share/man/man8/prelink.8.gz 6581 root 19 0 1892 288 216 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 0 0:00 0 0 sync_page zcat /usr/share/man/man8/mgetty.8.gz 13056 root 18 0 1892 292 216 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 0 0:00 0 0 sync_page zcat /usr/share/man/man3/xprt_register.3.gz 7639 root 18 0 1892 292 216 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 1 0:00 0 0 sync_page zcat /usr/share/man/man8/lvresize.8.gz 10452 root 18 0 1892 292 216 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 0 0:00 0 0 sync_page zcat /usr/share/man/man2/fchmod.2.gz 7511 root 20 0 1892 292 216 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 1 0:00 0 0 sync_page zcat /usr/share/man/man3/Net::HTTP.3pm.gz
