Maybe something like this? ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -10 That'll show you the top 10 processes and who owns them. I just found out just now based on this query to the list about something called mpstat which will display each processors utilization on the command line. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-find-out-linux-cpu-utilization.html _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
