To check the list of Interrupts (IRQ) you are using :
$ cat /proc/interrupts (Linux)
$echo ::interrupts | mdb -k (Solaris)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also see Procinfo, a monitoring utility that interfaces with the Linux /proc file system, and displays data such as
CPU utilization, memory utilization, interrupts serviced and information on the modules that are currently
loaded into the kernel.
$ procinfo -h (For complete list of options)
$procinfo -m (To list Modules and Device Info.)

Viewing a environment of a Linux or Solaris Process :
On Solaris hosts, you can see the environment of a process by invoking pargs with the "-e" (print the environment) option:
$ pargs -e 18167
18167: /usr/lib/ssh/sshd envp[0]: LANG=C envp[1]: PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin envp[2]: SMF_FMRI=svc:/network/ssh:default envp[3]: SMF_METHOD=/lib/svc/method/sshd start envp[4]: SMF_RESTARTER=svc:/system/svc/restarter:default envp[5]: TZ=US/Eastern
On Linux hosts, you can cat /proc/$PID/environ, where $PID is the process id you are interested in:
$ cd /proc/self
$ cat environ
USER=mattyLOGNAME=mattyHOME=/home/mattyPATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin MAIL=/var/mail/mattySHELL=/bin/bashSSH_CLIENT=10.10.1.10 49550 22 SSH_CONNECTION=10.10.1.10 49550 10.10.1.11 22SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0TERM=xterm-color
The Solaris output is a bit prettier, but they both contain the information you need to derive the environment of a process.

To view the library calls (specifically malloc and free) ,
$ ltrace /bin/Your-Command
This helps you debug application Problems in Linux.

Debugging Hung Process :
$pstack PID (Solaris)
$gstack PID (Linux)
This helps to see which stack the application is currently running.
