Rediculous question...
|

| How do you determine CPU usage of a particular application from the command line...
I was thinking ps, but not sure what switch... is it possibly in the /proc directory?
Thanks for the help!

| By default, ps lists only your own processes.
Under BSD UNIX, the command is ps -aux, which produces a table of all processes, arranged in order of decreasing CPU usage at the time the ps command was executed It is also useful to pipe this output to head, which will display the most active processes. | |

| Thanks! I tried that command and it works. I just used also the top command and it displays a nice table with all the processes and CPU usage... I dont know where my brain went!
