How to check CPU spike between certain priod of time
Hi,

Does anyone know how to check which process has been used the most CPU between certain time period?

say I have noticed CPU spike happend between 1:00 to 1:30

now it is 3:00 o'clock already. Is there anyway to find out what process/PID use the most CPU then?

Thanks a lot

It is related to one of apps... There is a tool we use called HP Openview Performance Manager...
