Re: Processes Staus!!!!!!!

"Top" seems to be right tool for U.
It display the processes with Max. Processor utilization.
If u are really looking for Performance tuning then u might need to monitor all other things like Memory,CPU,DISK & Network.
GlancePlus is the best tool but it doesn't come for free. If you don't have it you can use sar for the same.

See : man sar, man top
You need to know a lot to actually know how little you know

I use this

ps -e -F pid,pcpu,cpu,args |sort -kn2 |tail -40

It lists the top 40 processes

I ran Kapil's command and it works fine if using option -f (lower case).
