Hi all
I need to create a shell script to list out only the average of CPU usage for a particular period, and direct it to the file. But when I used "top > top.lis" this output file is in a mesh, how can I extract only the CPU usage at a particular moment? Thanks for help?
Best Regards
Kwang

Kwang,

which OS you are using ?
try e.g.
"iostat -t 10 10 >> /tmp/average.txt"

This will show the overall CPU stat.

Or are you more interested in a special proccess?

No RISK no fun

hi, try this one it shows the top 10 process cpu useage and memory usage good luck

while [ 1 ]
do
tput clear
ps -efa -o pcpu= -o vsz= -o args= | grep -v "2 87" | sort -n -r -k 1 | a
wk 'BEGIN {print "CPU% MEM(Kb) PROCESS";pr-----"}
NR <= 10'
sleep 2
done
