With BSD process accouting enabled in the kernel (it is with redhat by
default) and the psacct package you can get stats on user cpu usage and
alot of other titbits besides. The man commands you're gonna be interested
in are "accton" to activate logging and "sa" to have a look at the output.
# sa -m
381 37.99re 0.12cp 0avio 462k
root 272 34.18re 0.09cp 0avio 347k
mloe 105 3.81re 0.03cp 0avio 765k
nobody 4 0.00re 0.00cp 0avio 278k
... so in the few minutes since I turned it on to answer your email 381
processes have been exectuted (to completion) take 37.99 actual seconds to
execute, using 0.12 seconds of cpu time and performing, on average,
negligable I/O. The last field is kilo-core seconds and is some sort of
memory metric but it greek (and i suspect ancient greek) to me. :)
On a busy machine the logs can get large.. but then.. on a busy machine
they'll do that anyway. I believe you would run sa from cron to merge the
log into a summery but I don't use it myself so *shurg* you'll prolly have
to do some more reading. :)
That's not really an answer.... a pointer I guess. :)
