top command
Hey,
Using one single line of command i am trying to show the CPU usage for 4 processors and then filter it out and write it to a text file. Everything seams ok except that i am not able to switch from having the top command show me all CPU processes seperate opposed to showing me the average of all 4.
I know once i go into top, i can toggle that option by hitting the '1' key. However, i would like to have one command that does this.
I've looked into different configurations files as well but no luck. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanck You

EX:
top -n 1 | cat | head -6 | tail -3 | tr -cs 'a-z',.,'0-9' '\n' | sed '1,8d' | sed '2,8d' | sed '3,9d'> /output.txt
This commmand will get and filter the CPU process and write it to a text file. However, this is only displaying the average of all 4.

I understand the numbers displayed in variable "load average". My question: what are the correct/ideal numbers?
Sometimes, I got less than 1. Others, above 6.
Also, what HW/SW should I tune in order to have the ideal numbers?
