The actual figure is not important but as a guide for sorting the order of most recently used programs I think it's reasonably accurate and useful. I'm checking my mail atm so TB hits top spot and this is indeed a reasonable summation of my most used programs after being left on all night. ~ appup | head 7.7 211052 thunderbird 1.7 64344 smplayer 1.5 108332 kwin 0.6 63040 lxqt-panel 0.2 46636 konsole 0.0 48964 pcmanfm-qt 0.0 43080 lxqt-runner 0.0 43064 qasmixer 0.0 38208 kactivitymanage 0.0 36676 lxqt-notificati > Ideally, you'd want to include something which somehow asks the kernel > for auditing data and records each process's cumulative CPU time and > wall time on exit (as well as any memory statistics offered) so you > don't miss any short-lived processes. Some comprehensive kernel level usage audit of all programs per user would be brilliant and, aside from being hard to do, I'm not sure why it doesn't exist as I would love to have a easy to digest report summary of what resources my computer actually uses. What I am suggesting is something super simple that could get maybe 75% of the way there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
