Sorry for the late response, but I had to put this off for a bit...

But, I found a better solution then the topas command. Instead I am using the vmstat command. This command will print out the specific value that I need and it doesn't manipulate the terminal with escape sequences like topas does...

So if I want the Runqueue data, running the following command will print me out a 2 second average 30 times. So basically I'm getting the Avg Runqueue value every 2 seconds for one minute.

Like this:
Code:
# vmstat 2 30

System Configuration: lcpu=12 mem=59392MB

kthr    memory              page              faults        cpu

And from the output Column 1, with the column Heading of "r", that is the Runqueue data.

Thanks to all who commented on the Post. Very much appreciated!
