top output
Hi all, below is the output of my 'top'
Code:
Tasks:  91 total,   2 running,  89 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  3.9% us, 20.5% sy,  0.0% ni, 75.6% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
Can someone tell me what does us, sy,ni,id,wa,hi,si stands stand for?

From my output
Code:
Cpu(s):  3.9% us, 20.5% sy,  0.0% ni, 75.6% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
Does it mean 75% of my CPU is idling,while user's process are taking 3.9% and system processing at taking up 20.5% of the CPU's resources?
