Ok, it is scaled, but they simply say CPUs
Old man pages often say CPUs because the authors could not imagine that a CPU might have more than one core, not to mention hyper-threading...
A typical measurement is the vmstat, where (100 - id) gives the used CPU%.
Another typical measurement is the system load, as given by the uptime command. Which is often r + b + w from the vmstat command, integrated over 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes.
What do you currently measure?

There are only four options for CPU, they are as follows: -C configfile, --config configfile The configuration file to be used by CPU. The options in this file are used for CPU modules. -h, --help Display help for CPU. If specified in conjunction with the -m option the help for that particular module is displayed. -M method, --method=method This is the method of administration.
