CPU hoggers (easy points)

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

similar to the top output, is there a ps/equivalent option that produces a list of top CPU eating processes like the script in the follwing thread

that produces memory hoggers.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi

# export UNIX95=""
# ps -efao pcpu,comm | sort -n -r | head -10

We have some HPUX11 with old patch level on which this command doesn't work, but I don't know what Patches we need, on 11i it works fine.
