There should be a userid in that field, too. What that field tells you in this example is that that userid had a peak 3.0% of the available 400% during the last interval, and that that userid used the most CPU capacity during the last interval. > Now I have; > PROC %CPU > ---- ----- > P00 83 > P01 83 > P02 83 > P03 81 > > User Extreme now shows a system that has > Max %CPU 263 OK. So the physical CPU units are averaging about 80% each (the breakdown of how much is system, how much is user is the remainder of each line, see %SYS and %SP, etc). The userid listed in the User Extreme Max CPU% is using a peak 263% of the 400% available across all 4 CPUs. We don't know what it was doing during that period from that screen, but it's using about 2.6 processors worth of work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
