Thanks Anand !!! for the useful tip. we can use acctcom command with option -h to find out % of CPU time used by a process during its execution. thanx hecker

How can one find the %CPU Usage for a process. I don't want to use TOP command as it seems that the statistics provided by this command are based on some kind of hysteresis. I want to find the CPU processing time taken by a process upto max accuracy. Thanx, Hecker

Yah Anna, Rotovegas is quite right . Actually even I have faced same problem sometimes. I just forgot to mention it so while using gcc or cc also mention -lnsl as an   option on the command line.

Hi Anna,<br><br>I hope you might have recoverd from this problem by now. Any way I feel that your<br>problem is related to PATH variable settings. I feel that the PATH specified on your<br>host m/c does not include correct search PATH for sys/socket.h and it may be different for differnet m/c...
