Sorting CPU utilization per process

What command can you use to sort the processes per CPU utilization from the
highest to the lowest in percent used?
The command on AIX is: ps gu
This will list out processes from highest to lowest on which ones are using the
most of the CPU time in percentage.

Thanks

Try "ps -el | sort -nr +5 | head" .
It will sort processes by the CPU usage, but not in percentage. If you really
want to use %, modify the output from 'ps' with -o option using %pcpu.

If you are using teh command interactively, then "top" will sort processes by
cpu utilization.

If your company wants to spend the money, the measureware/glance/perfview
openview product(s) are a great tool for performance tuning, process tracking,
etc. Call HP for a 60day demo to justify.
