You cant... as Dave says, "% CPU Usage" must be done over time.
Believe it or not, Load average is a better indicator of CPU usage, but in
linux it sucks.. if you really want CPU usage:
top -b -n1 | grep "^Cpu(s):" | awk '{print $2+$4+$6}'
Of course, that is *HIDEOUSLY* specific to my top. (you want this line, or
its equivalent:
Cpu(s): 0.4% user, 0.1% system, 0.0% nice, 99.5% idle, 0.0% IO-wait
$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7.. etc for awk fields)
