NAME
       sampleproc - sample processes on the CPUs. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
       ssaammpplleepprroocc [[hheerrttzz]]

DESCRIPTION
       This program samples which process is on each CPU, at a particular con-
       figurable rate. This can be used as an estimate for  which  process  is
       consuming the most CPU time.

       Since  this  uses  DTrace,  only  the  root  user  or  users  with  the
       dtracekernel privilege can run this command.
