And you can use the --sort options for ps to sort by cpu or anything
you like (see the manpage)
Even better, thanks Paul...
watch -n1 "ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk '{ if ( \$3> 1.0 ) { print } }'"
does exactly what I want...
Hmmm... is there an easy way to include the column headers?
To build on Grant's suggestion:
ps aux --sort %cpu | gawk 'NR==1; $3> 0'
Hmmm.. ok, this works beautifully, thanks!
But when I tried to incorporate it into the watch command like the other
one:
Original:
watch -n1 "ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk '{ if ( \$3 > 1.0 ) { print } }'"
Attempt at incorporating your command into this:
watch -n1 "ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk 'NR==1; $3 > 0'"
it gives me a syntax error:
Every 1.0s: ps aux --sort=-%cpu | gawk 'NR==1; > 0'

gawk: NR==1; > 0
gawk: ^ syntax error
Any ideas on how to get this working in the watch version
Thanks Paul, this will be very useful to me...
