field of TOP

[Marcelo De Florio_1]

I need to determinate the field %CPU of top what the meaning of ?, because if you sum this column of all process of system not equal to avg row in the top of screen.

for example:
CPU LOAD USER NICE SYS IDLE BLOCK SWAIT INTR SSYS
0 0.50 30.7% 2.0% 27.7% 39.6% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
1 0.60 34.7% 4.0% 24.8% 36.6% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
2 0.60 10.9% 11.9% 60.4% 16.8% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
3 0.78 25.7% 0.0% 28.7% 45.5% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
--- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
avg 0.62 25.5% 4.9% 35.3% 34.3% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%

sum the figures in cpu column then devide it by 4 (number of processors)
Your top out put in avg row is correct!

-USA..

.5 + .6 + .6 + .78 = 2.48

2.48 / 4 = .62

if I understand your question correctly.... (forgive me if i'm wrong... or clarify for me)

The average is exactly that... the average of each CPU. the sum would be the combined total of all.

the ? below is the TTY

If i missed you question could you clarify for me please

[Ross Zubritski]

Ah, I see. And the ? would denote a non tty process such as oracle, or system processes.
