Hi,

Can I find the percent of cpu load for a process inside a script?

At worst, I can find it out from "top", but I wonder if there is a more direct way.

I'm looking at "/proc/21500/stat" or "/proc/21500/statm", but I have no idea what each value is, where are those virtual files documented.

How do I get the total CPU usage of an application from /proc/pid/stat? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16726779/how-do-i-get-the-total-cpu-usag... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
