Hi kumar top is the best command to check the cpu utilization.

Hi Kumar,
For % CPU utilization you go for real time monitoring tools that provide information as to the performane of the system now.

1] top --> The top command displays real time list of the top CPU consumers on the system.It it will tell
total size of the process in KB,
resident size of the process in KB,
[ %WCPU] average CPU usage since top started,
[%CPUCurrent] CPU usage over the current interval.

2]sar --> sar command reports on many different system activities including CPU, buffer cache, disk..

Thanks & Regards
Reshma
