Shell Programming and Scripting

I think that we are going round in circles.
Are you looking for a snapshot at this moment or the peak over a period of time?

Please note that I know nothing about the Ubuntu sysstat package.

Are you takling about figures like this (which came from a unix system):

Code:

sar 10 10

17:46:14    %usr    %sys    %wio   %idle
17:46:24       1       2      14      82
17:46:34       1       1      20      78
17:46:44      14       3      19      65
17:46:54       4       2       9      85
17:47:04       1       2      18      79
17:47:14       5       3      17      75
17:47:24       0       1      15      84
17:47:34       4       2      19      75
17:47:44       2       0       5      93
17:47:54       4       2       2      91

Average        4       2      14      81

I have a project , which wants me to create a script and all it says is to find
Cpu's %system time high and %user time high , that is why i posted a thread here .. But i m getting everyone confused :P
