[Gerrit Muller] | If you have a working example of CPU usage could you post the | result? I would be interested.
OK. Here's a workingish example, cut down from the link I posted earlier. This one was designed to work with Win2K which I was using at the time. For WinXP and later, there's a new counter with the ungainly name of Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process which should give you the number straight off without having to do the take-and-diff-and-divide dance. However, it doesn't seem to do anything useful on my (XP) system. Haven't tried that hard, I admit. As ever, if you can find any example around the Web -- and there are loads -- converting it to Python should be a breeze. TJG <code> import time import wmi c = wmi.WMI () process_info = {} while True: for process in c.Win32_Process (): id = process.ProcessID for p in c.Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Process (IDProcess=id): n1, d1 = long (p.PercentProcessorTime), long (p.Timestamp_Sys100NS) n0, d0 = process_info.get (id, (0, 0)) try: percent_processor_time = (float (n1 - n0) / float (d1 - d0)) * 100.0 except ZeroDivisionError: percent_processor_time = 0.0 process_info[id] = (n1, d1) if percent_processor_time > 0.01: print "%20s - %2.3f" % (process.Caption, percent_processor_time) print time.sleep (5) </code> ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
