How to record process time

Hi,
I have a server with more than 2000 at web and 2000 at telnet.
Indeed, it is bbs system with web support. And the load average is
very high. Now, I want to find that how much time some CGI process
takes on average and how much in user space, how much in system space,
how much I/O it use as well as network. Is there such a tool in Unix
for this purpose? Something worth notice is that the CGI is running by
apache, and I can't trace it because it start and do some I/O and then
return. I should never pause some and trace some.

Any advice will be appreciated very much!
Thanks in advance!

Regards!
Bo

For analysing the apache log, you can use webaliser tool.

If the version of UNIX you're using has a process accounting facility,
it will give you much of the information you need (once you enable it).
Start with: apropos "process accounting"

I am now using sar, but it can't give me the exact time information
on
certain process. That is why I ask for some new tools here. Thanks!

I just clicked on that link
http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/

The Webalizer is a fast, free web server log file analysis program. It
produces highly detailed, easily configurable usage reports in HTML format,
for viewing with a standard web browser.

Process accounting is a facility unrelated to sar.
