Getting CPU usage
 

Hi, Does anyone know how to get the CPU usage by the entire system? May be it is written in /proc.

Thanks in advance.

Try running 'gkrellm'

HI,

$> xosview +cpu &

This is for RedHat Linux 9

I meant a C function or something similar, not a program, because i want to call it in my program. Thanks

something like in /proc/loadavg ?


Cheers,
Tink

Thanks, but i mean the percent CPU usage, like top does. The load average is useful too.
