Hi, I am just creating a very simple system performance monitoring script. I am parsing the output of the following command and writes it to a text file: top -b -n 1 | egrep '^Cpu' I run "top" as normal in the shell during the execution, but that one is oscilating a lot. However, the "top -b -n 1" just changes very slowly. It feels like the top -b gives some sort of "average" value to the values.
This is nearer to running it "normally." top -b -n20 | egrep '^Cpu'
If so , how can I set it to have shorter "average" rate?
-d but be realistic, you don't want top dominating the system. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-)
