Hello,
I was wondering what are the processes running on my machine after checking the
CPU utilization using ps and top commands.
My Platform is IBM x3755 (w/ 8 CPUs) running FreeBSD 6.2.
1. Using top -S
last pid: 90083; load averages: 0.22, 0.19, 0.17 up
5+00:26:5515:27:07
186 processes: 19 running, 152 sleeping, 15 waiting
CPU states: 0.9 % user, 0.0 % nice, 7.2 % system, 0.0 % interrupt,
91.9% idle
Mem: 54M
Active, 22M Inact, 76M Wired, 26M Buf, 29G Free
Swap: 6144M Total, 6144M

Question 1: What is the difference between 1 [a] and 1 [b]?
Question 2: What are the processes (system?) that are running that resulted to
1 [b]?
top -S is just giving a name idle: cpu0, idle: cpu1, etc.
under the command column.
Question 3: Is it logical to compare the average CPU utilization results
obtained in number 1 and 2? How are they differ?
Question 4. Are there other tools that I can use to accurately get the running
processes that are eating the actual CPU resources on the machine?
Please shed me some lights..
Thanks,
Won
