is there any gui tools like gnome system monitor in solaris for monitoring processes? or is it possible to get the gnome system monitor binary pkg for solaris os ?

A: 

How about GKrellm? That is popular under the Gnome suite running on Linux.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

You don't specify which version of Solaris - recent ones include gnome-system-monitor already. Additional gnome software for older Solaris versions may be available from various projects that make open source software packages available for Solaris, such as SunFreeware, Blastwave, and OpenCSW

The CDE desktop included in Solaris 2.6 through Solaris 10 also includes a couple of simpler process monitoring tools - sdtprocess and sdtperfmeter.

The OS version is 5.10.. But I can't find gnome sysmon for 5.10 in sunfreeware , blastwave or opencsw... I installed gnome sys mon using pkg-get but when I run binary . It says "Can only run on SunOS 5.8 sun4u \n glibtop: Requested 52 bytes but got 4256701908." Is there a way to get same package for 5.10? I searched in google i couldn't find one

If you dont mind me asking what is the need for a gui?

the command top will give you everything you need but in a terminal?!?

anyway /usr/dt/bin/sdtperfmeter is on older releases but this WONT give you processes

gnome-system-monitor should be installed on newer releases, and this WILL give you processes.

If the gnome-system-monitor command doesn't work top will.
