[OmniOS-discuss] pkgchk and other package information

[sergey ivanov]

Hi Steve,
First, I think there is not such utility as "top" in OmniOS. I remember
discussion about amount of resources "top" is using, with recommendation to
avoid it, at least in production, when resources can be already scarce. Use
instead "prstat": installed by default, aware of zones and
lightweight-processes, and much more efficient!
About searching files and packages, see "man pkg". For example, to find
which package owns prstat utility, "pkg search prstat". Or, for example,
"pkg search -r :file:basename:prstat", for looking in remote repositories
for packages with "prstat" as the basename of the file to be installed.
