Code:
ant:/home/vbe $ UNIX95= ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -r | head -5
15.95 12661 vbe      /opt/firefox/firefox-bin
 5.26 12694 vbe      /opt/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/hppahpux/bin/acroread --display 16

Thanks for your answer.
Server is running on ubuntu.
When I type the command in command prompt it format the output correctly. When executed from script like :
echo `UNIX95= ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -r | head -5`
the output is formated in one line like this:
%CPU PID USER COMMAND 0.1 5162 root sshd: root@pts/1 0.0 7 root [khelper] 0.0 6 root [events/0] 0.0 5 root [watchdog/0]

Is there any formatting option or should'nt I use "echo"?

Do you have any idea for
  • number of process per user
  • most common process


Thanks
